Letter from George Macaulay Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Thanks Bob for his corrections [to "Ramillies and the Union with Scotland"]; asks him to thank Mr [Claude?] Montefiore from him for his approval and corrections. Fears it is 'too late to mend' [the section on] Lille; expects Montefiore is right, but George has been 'terrified by the fear of [the book] becoming a 'drum & trumpet' history, especially in these anti-war times' and as he himself likes 'drums and trumpets... so much, provided they were blown a good 100 yrs or more ago!'.

Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

Hopedene, Holmbury St Mary, Dorking. - Sends 'Congratulations from an ignoramus': thinks it [Trevelyan's translation of Lucretius's "De Rerum Natura"?] deserves a better format, with the text on facing page and larger print. Has only read Book 1 so far. Not sure he likes 'farded' line 645, but Trevelyan probably knows best; the dictionary gave a quotation from Scott's "Old M[ortality]" as illustration of the word, which he confesses he did not know. The work is a great 'labour'; hopes Trevelyan will have some 'jolly reviews'.
