1 item

Churchdale Hall, Nr Bakewell, Derbyshire. - Many thanks for Bob's 'delightful letter' [15/292]; the praise that he has kept 'the physical beauty of the words [in his translation of Horace's "Odes"] without making too many sacrifices' is most gratifying as this was his exact aim. Responds to several of Bob's detailed points about his translation. Was very glad to see Desmond [MacCarthy]'s review of Bob's "Epistles"; since writing last, he has read all the translations except the Juvenal and been 'astonished by their fidelity'. Is still here, 'intensely enjoying [his] first spring in the country since Cambridge'.
