Scope and content

c/o Grindlay's Bank, Bombay. - Thanks Trevelyan for the ''Christmas card of poems' and the translation of [Virgil's] "Georgics". Enjoyed Trevelyan's poems, particularly the epistle to Philip Erasmus ["Epistle to my Grandson"] and the short one about the birds and aeroplanes. Feels he cannot judge Trevelyan's translations of the "Eclogues" and "Georgics" but thinks them magnificent. Is still in the jungle, but no nearer the enemy. Has been restored to his previous rank [Captain] and is now the Intelligence Officer for his battalion: effectively 'the C. O's stooge', but as his C.O. is an intelligent man life is interesting. Hopes to return to England in about a year. Has been shooting deer and peafowl in his spare time, to fill the pot. Looking forward to a trek to Tibet through Sikkim this year.
