Parte de Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan
Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Has read [Theocritus'] idylls about Hercules 'with much delight'; wishes he had drawn Gladstone's attention to 'the picture of Augeas's great rural establishment'; agrees with Robert in liking the "Pollux". Likes the three epigrams attributed to Theocritus which are in Robert's edition but not his own. Has read Moschus and Bion, and is now reading Hesiod. Cannot write more as he has fished all morning, catching 'a score of trout'.
