Scope and content
Trinity College, Cambridge - Is heading to France, and will probably perish in a railway accident; should this happen his executors will ask him to finish off his Lucan, only the index remains, "a nasty job, and when the engine is on the top of me I shall console myself with the thought that I have escaped it." Understands Duff is working on the neglected poet Silius.
