tain Shaw's philosophy of love, some
times tender and sometimes ardent,
Is he eloquently expressed it again
and again to the woman he loved"

Shaw has written . preface to the
correspondence, in which he warns
that the letters must not be interpreted
Is one might interpret letters, similar
" intimate in phrase, between q man
