British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, London, W.1. - Sorry that there has been 'a good deal of confusion' about Trevelyan's Latin poetry translations, to be broadcast today: the fee of fifteen guineas offered was on the assumption that the translations were made specifically for the programme, but she now understands from Trevelyan that most of them have been taken from previous publications and that the Programme Contracts Department has already sent him an inclusive contract. Retracts the offer and apologises for the 'muddle'.

British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, London, W.1. - Understands that Trevelyan has made some translations from Latin of poems by Catullus for his broadcast on the Third Programme on 27 August: 136 lines of verse and 66 words of prose. An 'inclusive fee of fifteen guineas' is offered, in return for which the Corporation would like the rights specified on the attached form [no longer present]. If this is satisfactory, asks Trevelyan to sign and return the form; will then arrange payment.
