I am glad you liked the book. I much admire the lines of the schooner. I can't do those things myself, but can rig models fairly well when somebody will build them for me. Alas, not much time for rigging models now, out here....I like your poems very much indeed, especially the one about Overseas' (with the British Expeditionary Force in France, 9th April 1917), 'I'm afraid you have long since decided that I never write letters. This is....to say that I hope I may be able to see you during my coming visit to America.'

On returning to England Masefield campaigned for better medical facilities in the field, subsequently publishing books on Gallipoli (controversially used for propaganda purposes in America), and two books on the Somme.

BERNSTEIN LEONARD: (1918-1990) American Conductor & Composer of Westside Story. Manuscript D.S., Leonard Bernstein, three pages, small 4to, n.p. [Boston Latin School], 15th October 1934. Pages from Bernstein's English Literature schoolbook in which he writes a précis and interpretation of the play Loyalties by John Galsworthy, citing the important aspects of each act thru I - VI. Bernstein writes regarding these acts 'I. Both narrative and a treatise on race prejudices. II. Society versus the Jew. III. Time: the present. Place: in and around London. The British social elite make up the environmental factors.' Finally concluding 'As to the book itself, it is quite well written, though hardly comparable to the masterly treatment of the theme by Shakespeare. There is one outstanding feature; Galsworthy makes the most of every character however minor his role.' An early reference to the playwright who would inspire Bernstein to compose 'West Side Story'. Bernstein's teacher has marked the piece a '6' at the head of the page one, and added a comment in bold lettering alongside the text 'Too general', whilst on page three is written in the same hand 'Inadequate' and 'Weak'. Bernstein has signed and dated both leaf's in the top right hand corner. Each with two file holes to the left edges, not affecting text or signatures. Light creases with minor signs of age wear. Together with Manuscript D.S., L Bernstein, 2 pages, small 4to, n.p. [Boston Latin School], 10th January 1935. Another page from Bernstein's English Literature schoolbook in which he writes of Burns 'Whenever we read one of Burns "nature" poems (and by that I mean his poems of home life and based on simple subject) we come away with a peculiarly pure feeling. It's as though we had been purged of a disease.' Bernstein's teacher has awarded a '6' that is written at the head of the page along with various other marginal references of 'W', 'K' and '?'. With two file holes to the left edges, not affecting text or signatures. Light creases with minor signs of age wear. VG

Concluding 'Colonel and Mrs. McGann, I am glad to say are still going strong… Sir Martin Forster and Dr. Fowler of the Institute of Science are two among others who have taken Mysore for their home, and there are lots more of your old friends still ready to testify to the excellence of the Mysore climate, such as Madhava Roa, Sir M.
