Scope and content
2 Garrick's Villa, Hampton-on-Thames. - Has dictated a short letter to B.B. [Bernard Berenson]. Hopes Trevelyan's journey did not tire him too much; a 'great thing to have Julian as a courier'. Has been re-reading Trevelyan's translation of Horace with the dialogues ["Translations from Horace, Juvenal, & Montaigne: With two imaginary conversations", published 1941] which he thinks the best he has written; the translations are also very good. Has been comparing them with Eddy Marsh's, which on the whole are not as good as he first thought them. Appreciated the dedicatory verses to B.B; envies Trevelyan being at I Tatti again; sends love to B.B. and Nicky [Mariano]. Was sorry to hear about Miss Simpkins, has missed her on his last few visits to the Shiffolds. Is due to attend the P.E.N. International Congress in Zurich in June, supposes he will have to make a speech.
