Yatscombe, Boar's Hill, Oxford. - Thanks Trevelyan for his "Oresteia"; thinks he 'appreciate[s] the purpose and meaning' of Trevelyan's translation, which is 'quite different' from his own. Likes the introduction very much. As Trevelyan says, the success will depend on 'the amount of effort which a Greekless reader' will make to 'realize a beauty that is now out of his reach'; though 'the beauty he reaches' will be something 'quite unlike the original'. Trevelyan's practice in 'quasi-Greek lyrical metres' in his "Sisyphus" and other works has aided him a 'great deal'.
