It appears that he entirely recovered, and reached the Dardanelles happy and well. He seems to have got blood-poisoning... . How he came to the French hospital is still obscure. But he neither died nor was buried in Lemnos, but, it appears, in Tenedos" [actually Skyros], and "I shall look forward very eagerly for your article on Rupert. It is desirable that his friend should record the truth, because already one of those odious 'legends' which British sentimentality is always ready to form is being wound about his name. A little more, and those who really loved and comprehended him will be elbowed out of court by those who never saw him or contemplated his real nature", on the dedication to Gilbert Cannan, a conscientious objector, of his Great War play X=O, "... at this dreadful moment, the peace-at-all price and conscientious cowards should be kicked out of all honorable stations.

The appearance of Gosse's use of the words 'infamous', 'disgusting', 'outrage', 'nightmare of obscenity and chaotic babble' will I imagine rouse, if not Joyce, his disciples to a counter fury. Is it desired to to raise a battle round this ill starred book? If so, of course, print." - Galsworthy.
