Scope and content
The Clarendon Press, Oxford. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter of 15 January with the book and manuscript; asks him to excuse Sisam's 'apparent neglect': has been away a while and now has the 'very heavy business of the beginning of term' to deal with. Has not yet had time to read Trevelyan's translations [of Montaigne: see 22/16-17, 21/83] or take advice; is unsure whether the translation might come under [Oxford University Press's] London Department's remit rather than the Delegates' but will go into it as soon as possible and write again.
