Item 66 - Letter from R. H. Law to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Christ Church Vicarage, Penrith. - Glad that Percival Smith of [Trevelyan's] "The New Parsifal" is 'continuing his adventures' [in the "Pterodamozels"] which will 'be a refreshment in this weary time' if they are half as good as the first book; asks for a copy to be sent. Liked Trevelyan's "The Pearl Tree", in the "Annual of New Poetry", very much, and thought some of [Gordon] Bottomley's poetry 'very beautiful' though regrets how few of them there were. Edward Thomas's death, 'just when he was finding himself in poetry', was a 'tragedy'; terrible to think of 'this murder of our best continuing'. Asks if Trevelyan is likely to come north this year; would much like to see him if so.
