Scope and content
Knockavery, Linnell Close, Meadway, Hendon, N.W.4. Wonders whether he has correctly identified Trevelyan's handwriting; had thought he was 'endenizened in Italy'. Encloses payment for Trevelyan's latest work [the "Pterodamozels"]; sure this will be a 'pleasant change from [Abraham] Cowley, whom he is re-reading with a 'certain grim satisfaction'. Likes to be able to 'find out what a poet means', and has trouble with 'much of the modern stuff' in this respect. Adds a postscript in which he suggests some lines [from Cowley: 'Ask me not what my love shall do or be..] have 'a rather modern ring'.
