Scope and content

Ede (près Arnhem). - Trevelyan has truly gathered flowers from his 'literary excursions in the seductive Hellade [Greece]', and the kind gift he has sent [Mallow and Asphodel] has allowed Grandmont to taste its charms. 'Without despising the others', to quote the Sicilian saying [in Italian], he most likes Playmates, Orpheus, and The Fan. Thanks him heartily, and hopes he will return to Taormina to 'gather... poetic harvests'. Asks in a postscript whether Trevelyan could give him the address of an English bookseller selling secondhand works on art and science.
