Scope and content
The Wergs Farm, Tettenhall, Staffs. - Returns three of the books Trevelyan lent him, but is keeping the Cervantes ["Novelas ejemplares"?] for a while as he enjoyed it so much; most of the tales were familiar through the Elizabethan dramatists but some were totally new to him. Is sorry that he has few books likely to please Trevelyan: the sagas may be 'rather too coarse and rough' for him. Has [James] Burney's "History of the Buccaneers", Arthur Symons' poems, Yeat's "Wind among the Reeds", Keats's "Letters" and Hogg's incomplete "Life of Shelley". Sends his regards to Fry. Has finished a 'story of American factory life' and sent it to the "Speaker".
