Pièce 95 - Letter from H. J. C. Grierson to R. C. Trevelyan

1 letter

12 Regent Terrace, Edinburgh. - Thanks Trevelyan for his 'kind message' and the translation [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]; hopes Trevelyan is well, since he heard a rumour he had been ill. Has himself had 'various minor complaints' but is generally well for his age. Will read the Hymn [Homeric Hymn to Demeter] 'carefully', and discuss it with a friend who 'reads Greek with [him] twice a week', a 'retired Indian Civil Service man'. Sends some translated verses Trevelyan already knows; tells him not to let Mrs Trevelyan 'be too critical'. His Dutch granddaughter was due to visit him, but this has been postponed; however his daughter who lives in France [Janet Teissier du Cros] is visiting.
