Scope and content

Thanks Trevelyan for sending him "Aftermath"; knew some of the poems already, but they 'remain new' for him and 'bring back happy memories of tranquillity and studious preoccupations'; likes discovering the echoes of ancient myth. 'Under the great shadow of the war' Vivante continues 'studying and reading', in different places but 'with the same state of mind and serenity'. Very sorry to learn from the preface that the unsold copies of Trevelyan's "Collected Poems" have been burnt [in a bombing raid which destroyed his publishers' warehouse] and counts himself lucky to have a copy. Sends greetings to 'all the household of the Shiffolds'.
