Item 151 - Letter from Guglielmo degli Alberti to R. C. Trevelyan

Turin. - Thanks Trevelyan for sending him his translation of Aeschylus: is looking forward to reading it when he gets to the country. Has been back from Rome for a few days; Turin could be delightful despite or perhaps because of its 'quiet and easy dullness', but he has all sorts of 'tyrannical' social obligations. Was very nice to see Trevelyan in Rome and talk with him. Is afraid he is getting tired of literature, but then 'everybody is, and goes on all the same'. Encourages Trevelyan to write a novel. Hopes he has received the Michelangelo, and asks him to let him know if he translates any.
