Scope and content
Pen Rose, Berkhamsted. - Thanks Bob for telling Hodder and Stoughton's to send her the book [his translation of Aeschylus's "Oresteia"], which arrived on Friday; sends a postal order for five shillings in payment. Will send this copy to Sir Rennell Rodd, and when she receives the copy from Hatchard's it will go to her father; they both know the "Agamemnon" 'by heart', which she fears she does not. The translation is 'really grand'.

Note
Initials 'M, J, D' with two rows of figures beneath them on the back in pencil; probably scores for a game played by the Trevelyans: 'M[ummy], J[ulian], D[addy]'.
