Epwell Mill, Banbury. - Thanks Trevelyan for his gift ["From the Shiffolds"]; has always enjoyed his poetry and 'delightful prose'. Perhaps liked "Epistle to my Grandson" best; guesses the addressee is Julian's son, and hopes he will 'live... to be proud of it, its wisdom, its foresight, its affection, & to rejoice in a grandfather who is a poet'. Pleased that Trevelyan remembered him; asks him to forgive his 'wretched script' which is due to his 'physical condition'; has more or less 'dropped correspondence'.
