The Shiffolds. - Is enclosing a copy of the introduction he proposes for "Idyll" VII [of Theocritus: see 12/371]; wants to know if Sir George approves of his 'way of introducing Macaulay's note'. Will also quote other comments by Macaulay on "Idylls" XV and XI, though not his note on "Idyll" II. Bessie and Julian are well; has been reading [Sir George's] "Horace at Athens" with Julian recently, which 'he appreciated very fully'; they are now reading [Milton's] "Comus".
