Stuk 8 - Letter from Augustus Moore Daniel to R. C. Trevelyan

14 Royal Crescent, Scarborough. - Has just received a book ["Sisyphus"] by Trevy from the publishers [Longmans]; it is 'most elegant', and he sees it contains 'rich full sounding Grecian names'. They [he and his wife] will read it together before Christmas; if Daniel 'dare[s]' form a conclusion on it he will write; thanks for the gift. Would also much like a letter saying how the Trevelyans all are. The Moore household are all well, except for the 'all important cook' who is suffering from a very high temperature; they hope she will soon recover. His wife sends best love to Trevy's, and will write to her soon.
