Item 10 - Letter from J. T. Sheppard to R. C. Trevelyan

King's College, Cambridge. - Has returned Bob's MS [of his translation of Aeschylus' "Agamemnon"] with a 'long letter' [21/9]: hopes these arrived safely. The more he thinks about it, the more he wants to perform on Bob's translation: can see that this is a issue for Bob, as they could not publish the entirety of the work; however, the stage version would also be used in schools, so Bob 'will have an influence on the way G[ree]k is done' which is 'not unimportant'. Regarding terms, the Greek Play Committee only want themselves to 'keep down expenses' and do the thing well, but they also do not want to ask Bob to 'sacrifice [his] rights as author'. Comments on a reading in the "Eumenides". Asks Bob to let him know as soon as possible if he is willing to let them perform his version.
