Scope and content
King's College, Cambridge. - 'Paddy Hadley, the composer' has 'taken a few liberties' with Trevelyan's translation when working it into the music for Sheppard's production of the "Antigone"; quotes Hadley on the alterations he has made. Hadley and the printers are keen Trevelyan should know this, and therefore Sheppard is writing to inform him, but he has assured them Trevelyan will not be angry. Natural that Hadley, since he is writing modern music, has taken 'much greater liberties with the metrical schemes' than Trevelyan.
