84 West End Lane, N.W.6. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter and "From the Shiffolds"; which he has read some of but not yet all. Always enjoys Trevelyan's translations, and though the original is 'beyond him' feels that it is a good rendering; wonders if it is 'possible for a piece of translation to have a sort of stamp of its original'. Very glad Trevelyan did not like his own "Miscellany Poems" much: they are a 'mixed bag mostly rejected' from published or prospective volumes, and it would be a 'bit of a blow' to his 'critical temper' if they were praised, though he thought they were 'not bad' and would not damage his 'tenuous reputation'. Very sorry that Trevelyan is ill; hopes he will be able to wait until after Christmas to go into the nursing home. If the home is in London, would like to come and visit.
