Item 26 - Letter from Marie Busch to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

19 Kensington Park Road, W.11. - Good of Trevelyan to say he liked her 'little sketch' about her cousin Fritz Küchen and to suggest she should try to publish it; would be grateful if he could rid it of any 'glaring faults of style' and send it to the "English Review". Should it be accepted, a third of the fee should be his, as before. She, 'an absolutely obscure person' needs this recommendation, as she has offered them translations of much better known writers before, as has Miss Benecke, and never been accepted unless there was a personal recommendation at the outset. Since Trevelyan is going away soon, will send him the MS and type it up with his corrections; asks him only to make these if quite necessary since this piece is 'more personal & intimate'. Is reading [Trevelyan's translation of Aeschylus'] "Libation Bearers" and enjoying it very much, though it does not 'knock her down' as the "Agamemnon" did. Hopes he will have a good time abroad, and tells him not to let her piece cause him any trouble.
