84 West End Lane, N.W.6. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter and "From the Shiffolds"; which he has read some of but not yet all. Always enjoys Trevelyan's translations, and though the original is 'beyond him' feels that it is a good rendering; wonders if it is 'possible for a piece of translation to have a sort of stamp of its original'. Very glad Trevelyan did not like his own "Miscellany Poems" much: they are a 'mixed bag mostly rejected' from published or prospective volumes, and it would be a 'bit of a blow' to his 'critical temper' if they were praised, though he thought they were 'not bad' and would not damage his 'tenuous reputation'. Very sorry that Trevelyan is ill; hopes he will be able to wait until after Christmas to go into the nursing home. If the home is in London, would like to come and visit.

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - All well here; there was fine weather for the Exhibition, though he 'found it rather tiring' and went home soon. His leg is getting better, and he needs a smaller bandage now. The house is 'full of children, rather noisy sometimes', but they are well behaved and 'very charming'. Elizabeth [Kitty's daughter] is 'a nice and interesting girl'. Encloses a 'nice letter' from Kenneth Hopkins, and one from Peter Grant Watson, which he asks Bessie to keep for him. Hopes to arrive at Ockley on the 5.03 train from Victoria; if his train into Kings Cross is late, McEvoy will have to wait until the next train at 5.30.
