Scope and content

University College, Cardiff. Dated July 6/98 - Has been reading Frazer's account of Delphi and tells a story of his own encounter with Lysander's epigram, which had been shown and translated to a French couple as a special favour, and how he went to see the stone for himself despite the objections of the French, asks some questions about his interpretation of the Greek. In a postscript, he mentions he suspected 'poor [G. B.] Grundy's Plataea' and hears '[W. J.] Woodhouse is slaughtering him too'.
