Scope and content

Westridge Farm House, Streatley, Berks. - The Binyons are leaving for the Netherlands and Scandinavia tomorrow so he has had no time before now to write about Bob's Lucretius [translation of "De Rerum Natura". Congratulates him on what must have been a 'tough job'; thinks the blank verse is 'modulated with great variety', not becoming 'limp or stodgy', though he would 'prefer fewer disyllabic endings'. October's weather has been 'marvellous', and Bob's woods must be 'gorgeous now'. He and Cicely send love to Bessie; they hope the Trevelyans will be able to visit before long.
