'Trees Afoot'.

Two versions -- the earlier incomplete, and the later in duplicate -- of a sketch. Typescript with manuscript corrections.

A manuscript note on the reverse of the incomplete version reads: 'Unfinished penultimate draft of an eventually fairly succesful [sic] sketch. Here I was stuck for a way of finishing and thought of a number of contrived Pythonesque ending [sic]. Much neater solution -- re-arrange it to put a good line ("Right man for the job") at the end.'

T.S. Eliot.

  3. Notes on 'The Social Function of Poetry'. Manuscript.

  4. Marked essay on 'Free verse and structure: The Waste Land'. Manuscript.

Two drinks coasters serving as invitations to a beer-drinking party hosted by Adams, Nick Burton and Johnnie Simpson.

The coasters bear a message in faux, or perhaps falsch, German: 'Hierbei sind freundlich geinvitet your biertrinkenclothen onzuputten und am 8 p.m. Samstag 3rd November at K6, Second Courten, St John's alongzukommen wo / Studenführer Nick von Burton / Gruppensexleiter Johnnie Simpson / Douglas der Graf von Hangover / EIN GROSSEN BIERFEST holden will. / Wein please / bloodywell answer senden.' Typescript.
