Item 66 - Letter from Arthur Clutton-Brock to R. C. Trevelyan

Farncombe Lodge, Farncombe, Godalming. - Thanks Trevelyan for his note; glad he does not think Clutton-Brock's review [of "The New Parsifal": "An Operatic Fable," The "Times Literary Supplement", 12 Mar. 1914, p. 127] was 'very inadequate': has been 'entreated to write rather lightly' as well as 'copiously' to 'keep the Lit. Sup alive', and fears he did not think he made it plain how much he enjoyed the book, though thinks Trevelyan could have done even better with a 'more crude & simple subject', and that the Aristophanic play got 'too obscure in places'.
