Scope and content
End House, Chiltern Road, Chesham Bois. - Was 'charming' of Trevelyan to send her his 'Christmas book of poems' ["From the Shiffolds"]; will 'put him next to "Aftermath" & "Leopardi"'. Wishes she could have included "Pusska" in her anthology ["The Poet's Cat"], but it 'went to the printers last September & has not been heard of since', though she had hoped it could come out for Christmas. If she can add a 'supplement', would like to have "Pusska" as well as the Tessimond poem ["Cats"] she has just found in the Bozman and Church "Everyman" anthology ["Poems of Our Time"]; if not they will 'certainly go in a 2nd edition'. Has indeed included "Pangur Ban" which, along with du Bellay's "Epitaphe d'un Chat' gave her the idea for the collection. Admires Trevelyan's translations: thinks he, Sir Eddie Marsh and Mrs Cornford are a 'wonderful trio'; much appreciates his "Leopardi", and as she does not speak Italian would 'never have known his strange melancholy' but for Trevelyan. Sends regards to Mrs Trevelyan if she still remembers her.
