Addressed to The Editor, The Sunday Times, Kemsley House, London, W.C.1. - Responds to Sir Desmond MacCarthy's article, "Overlooked", in the "Sunday Times" of 31 December, saying that despite the 'commercial difficulty of publishing poetry today', more poems by Trevelyan are available to the public than MacCarthy's article might suggest. Lists books by Trevelyan published by George Allen & Unwin, from the "Foolishness of Solomon" in 1916 to the forthcoming "Translations from Greek Poetry".

George Allen & Unwin Ltd, Ruskin House, Publishers & Exporters, 40 Museum Street, London W. C. - W. Appleton Aiken, Professor of English History at Lehigh University, wishes to include two of Trevelyan's "Translations from Latin Poetry" in an anthology of 'best translations from Catullus in English verse', to be published by E. P. Dutton of New York in the autumn. Asks if Trevelyan is willing for Allen & Unwin to grant permission, and what fee he would think appropriate; assumes he would not object to them deducting the twenty per cent commission as agreed in the contract.

George Allen & Unwin Ltd, Ruskin House, Publishers & Exporters, 40 Museum Street, London W. C. - Asks if Trevelyan has considered offering his last two books to an American publisher; if not, suggests sending copies to the Macmillan Company in New York with the hope that they might import a small quantity. They would pay only about a third of the published price, but this would 'ensure some distribution in the States' and review copies going to the press. Currently have only sixty copies of "Translations from Latin Poetry"; asks if there are any more at the binders [A. A. Tanner & Son]. There are four hundred and eighty copies of the second impression of "Windfalls".
