I also send the short notices and photograph of Hugh Mac Diarmid the remarkable Scotsman whom AE appraises, which I proposed for your paper", inviting the Harmsworth's to lunch at the Oliver Goldsmith bi-centenary, "Regarding MacDiarmid - if you can persevere you will be amused by his "Crowdie knowe" in one of the books of lyrics. It is the poem about the resurgent Scotsman at The Day of Judgement. Poor "AE" [George William Russell] is shattered by his adventures in the witness box. A letter of Shaws which he is publishing next week will help to revenge him a little"; and a small photograph, folds.
