In den Warenkorb2pp., 4to. 53 lines. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with minor traces of previous mounting at head, and a light and unobtrusive water stain. The letter is headed by Rose 'Y.M.C.A. B.A.P.O.2 B.E.F. France'. Regarding Sheppard's recently-published 'Quest of Ledgar Dunstan', Rose writes: 'You have a wonderfully keen mental eye which sees everything with extraordinary sharpness, & you have a literary hand which etches with just & delicate touch. The book is also one of singular intensity of feeling which carries the reader along fascinated & thrilled. The mad-house scenes are like Dostoievsky for pathetic vividness & power.' Rose continues with a detailed analysis of Sheppard's 'rvery remarkable book' and literary talents, before reporting that he is 'out here for six months, giving talks on the war & its issues to the troops every night'. He returns to Cambridge on 8 October, 'for a very dull Term'. He regrets that he is 'out of touch with the literary papers', but will be pleased to be of service. The letter ends: 'Remember me to your brother, whom I have not seen for long.' A postscript reads: 'By the way, suitable Y.M.C.A. workers are badly needed out in France.'.
