Scope and content
The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. 4 Dec. 1908. - Has requested his publisher send Bridges a copy of his play "Sisyphus". Several passages are written according to a quantitative system, which he fears may displease Bridges; they were written before he had seen Bridges' Virgil ["Ibant obscuri..."]. He feels greater licence should be allowed to dramatic verse, and develops his principles, which he thinks differ from Bridges'. Hopes the Virgil will soon be published.
