Item 52 - Letter from Lascelles Abercrombie to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

The Gallows, Ryton, Dymock, Gloucester. - Very much likes Trevelyan's "Klingsor lines" [presumably from "The New Parsifal"] and discusses their metre, and that of [the traditional song] "The Kerry Recruit". It is very good of Trevelyan to offer some help to Arthur Ransome; hopes the case won't come to court. Is glad that Trevelyan is going to Japan, and hopes he will investigate Japanese socialism when he is there. Local scandal about a dead man whose wife could not afford a coffin so the parish refused to bury him.
