Scope and content

Trevelyan was very pleased when he realised he could be in London on 27 August and so accept Hassall's 'very kind and flattering invitation' to deliver a radio broadcast on Catullus; hopes he will be able to produce something 'worthy' of Hassall's new series. Asks if Hassall wishes him to read the script and poems himself, as he would prefer to do so; a pencilled continuation rephrases this to emphasise his wish to read.
