My dear Tom

I cant stay in Paris on the way out after all, for I have just heard that I cant get a sleeper for Michael on the return journey, and as he cant sit up all night he must travel by day. So I shall go straight through, and he and I will stay the night in Paris of June 21st. I will let you know later where, but probably at the Railway Hotel of Gare du Nord.

No, I dont agree with you! I dont consider Granville Barker a good ?? writer and do think him a good translator.Barker and his wife Helen translated Gregorio Martínez Sierra'sThe Kingdom of God, a Play in Three Acts, published in 1927.^note And you cant talk of translation where Willy is concerned because he did not translate Yeats is referring to WB Yeats's translation of SophoclesKing Oedipus ]^note he made a version.

If it is a question of Valery publishing your version or the American one the answer is obvious. He should be told to do yours at once! I will send you the script back by registered post on Saturday morn: as I cant bring it to Paris on Monday.

In haste

G.
