98 Grenfell Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire. - Hopes that Trevelyan is well; he is a 'Great Master' to have 'accomplished this so delicate and beautiful a work' [his translation of the "Eclogues" and "Georgics"]; Virgil, 'lover of Perfection' would be 'enchanted' with it. Quotes passages she enjoys extensively. If they are able to find a couple of rooms, perhaps in Kensington, as they wish, she looks forward to asking Bentley House [London base of the Cambridge University Press] to send her [Trevelyan's translations of] "De Rerum Natura" and "Prometheus Bound", though they might be 'too high and far above [her]'. Even if so, she would treasure them as she will her copy of Virgil, inscribed to her by Trevelyan.
