Scope and content
40, Moorside, Fenham, Newcastle-on-Tyne. - Thanks Trevelyan for the book of Greek plays [Trevelyan's translation of Aeschylus' "Oresteia"] which he has received from the publisher. Does not know Greek; has already read the plays in [John Stuart] Blackie's version, but thinks Trevelyan's version has 'far more rhythm and poetic force, besides being more direct & simple'. The 'musical sonority' of the verse appeals to him greatly. Unable to get to London after all, so the chance of seeing Trevelyan in the holidays has vanished; there may be another opportunity later. Sends New Year best wishes to the Trevelyans.
