  <dc:title>Letter from A S F Gow</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Typescript letter from Andrew Sydenham Farrar Gow, who had taught Eric Arthur Blair, regarding her request for further letters (beyond ORWELL/G/1/19), suggesting that Burma had been the suggestion of Richard Walmesley Blair, noting a visit from EAB in Cambridge c.1929, when A[lfred] E[dward] Housman had quizzed him about Burma, and briefly describing the one occasion, c.1949, when he had visited him in hospital.  The letter also discusses '&lt;i&gt;Such, such were the joys&lt;/i&gt;', insisting that it was "monstrously unfair" and asserts that he had discussed his view with Richard Rees "and he entirely agreed with my opinion", (1ff).</dc:description>
