Scope and content

The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Thanks Bridges for the kind letter about his book. Sends a "New Statesman" which contains an article he has written about Bridges' "Mercury" poem. Is not sure how well he has analysed Bridges' metrical method. According to Pearsall Smith, Bridges has said he was working without using a caesura, but Trevelyan himself detects a break in most lines. Gives examples where he has had difficulty with the scansion. Hopes Bridges will write more poetry of this kind.
