Stuk 144 - Letter from Fernande Salvemini to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Apologises for not replying sooner to Trevelyan's letter of 4 Nov, which she only received a fortnight ago. Has been unsure of what to suggest to H. T. Norton: there are many books it might be useful to translate, but she is sure they are well known and Trevelyan's friend has probably already made the choice on which he asked their advice. As Trevelyan suggested Norton might translate something by her husband, she sends the five "discorsi parlamentari" he gave last year on general politics; the speeches have appeared in Italian, and after a while (since her husband is tired and overworked) will appear in a collection of his articles, but could still appear together in English translation. An article about her husband's "Révoluzione francese" appeared in the literary supplement of the "Times" on Dec 16; this suggested there should be an English version, but she does not think Norton wants to translate this kind of work. The Berensons are in New York, and the Salveminis miss them very much.
