The Nonesuch Press Ltd., 16 Great James Street, London, W.C.1. - Understands Trevelyan's reluctance to take on such a large project [that of translating Herodotus for the Press, see 4/105] but he should think it over and they will discuss the matter when they meet on the 28th.

The Nonesuch Press Ltd., 16 Great James Street, London, W.C.1. - The Press is thinking of publishing a new edition of Herodotus; he is not happy with the existing translations and he wonders if Trevelyan would be willing to do a new one. Thinks he has found an archaeologist to write the accompanying notes: a young man at the British School at Athens [A.W. Lawrence] . Asks if Trevelyan could come to discuss the project (not on Thursday afternoon as he is sitting to Henry Lamb): it would be a very big job but his mother [Constance Garnett] translated "War and Peace" in a year.
