Item 38 - Letter from Kenneth Clark to R. C. Trevelyan

Upper Terrace House, Hampstead, N.W.3. - He and Jane were 'delighted and touched' to receive "From the Shiffolds": very good of Trevy to think of them. Has long admired Leopardi: Trevy's version is 'admirably faithful and keeps the movement of the original'; Leopardi is not easy, and often must be 'construed like a Latin poet'; would much like to have a dual text edition. Hopes that all is well. He himself had a 'long, happy time' at I Tatti [home of Bernard Berenson]; is tempted to settle in Italy when his children are all 'scattered', which will not be long.
