Scope and content

129 Wendell Road, Shepherd's Bush, W.12. - Thanks Trevelyan for his advice on a passage from a classical author for "Billy Budd" [see also 3/83]; Ben [Britten] is also grateful. They have also hunted in vain for a suitable extract from Plutarch, and expect Forster will have to invent one: 'the associations of Aristophanes and the Anthology aren't so correct.' Has had to return from Aldeburgh and goes back to the nursing home tomorrow 'to be overhauled again' [after his prostate operation]. Is glad Trevelyan's troubles are mending.
