Evidence: | 29 July: 'I'm paralysed by the task of describing a week end at Garsington. I suppose we
spoke some million words between us [...] There was Gertler; Shearman & Dallas for tea;
Brett, Ottoline, 3 children & Philip. The string which united everything together was Philip's
attack on Murry in The Nation for his review of Sassoon [...] to prove his case Philip read
Murry's article, his letter, & his letter to Murry, three times over, so I thought, emphasising
his points, & lifting his finger to make us attend. And there was Sassoon's letter of gratitude
too. I think Ott. was a little bored.' |
