Scope and content
Conduit Head, Madingley Road, Cambridge. -Thanks Trevelyan for his 'Christmas translations' ["From the Shiffolds"]; apologises for only writing now, as they arrived when she was ill with flu and she 'rashly lent them from [her] bed' and found they had 'completely vanished'. After waiting a long time for them to reappear, finally asked to borrow Eily's copy. Does 'admire & trust' Trevelyan as a translator, who never gives '"that translation feeling"' but always gives a sense of the original language. "Moretum" is 'such a startling Dutch genre picture'.
