Item 169 - Letter from Arthur Ransome to R. C. Trevelyan

Low Ludderburn. - Is glad about the Selections [Trevelyan's "Selected Poetry", published by Macmillan's] and looks forward to seeing it. His own book ["Coot Club"] 'in an awful state'; was ill for too long in the autumn and fears he will not get it done in time. Trevelyan must come for a sail in Swallow if he comes North; Ransome hasn't had time for once since his return from Norfolk but by the end of August his book will be done or given up. Notes in a postscript that the "marriages of the new generation seem anachronisms" [a reference to the wedding of Julian Trevelyan and Ursula Darwin?].
