Compliments on his work and a contretemps resolved: a letter from London dated 14 April reflects Yeats's pleasure in reading Waley's translations -- 'the poems are delightful things -- strangely simple & touching', inviting Waley for a Monday evening (when Yeats held open house) and asking for the dates of Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. An undated letter from Dublin reacts to a misunderstanding: 'The rudeness was to me only not to Lady Ottoline, but I am satisfied now that you have written ... I was glad to get your letter as I shall henceforth be able to read your work with the old pleasure'. The dictated letter from Sussex attempts to track down some letters which Yeats has mislaid. (3)
