Materials Specific Details
Douglas writes that Italy is not a pleasant place for English people just now, but he is remaining there until it becomes impossible. He says that the Italian newspapers are full of attacks on "the perfidy of England, which has put the whole world against the poor innocent Italians, just because they are doing their best to civilize Abyssinia." He has read [D. H.] Lawrence's book, thinking it is overpraised but "full of good things." Douglas believes that if [George] Bernard Shaw had a son, he would be very much like Lawrence. He also likes his son Robin's Booze Runner and wrote to tell him to find a publisher for it in America.
