Compton. - Thanks Trevelyan for his Christmas 'card' ["From the Shiffolds"]; regrets that he is not a classical scholar, but 'sympathises[s]' with the first poem and has 'the same experience in paintings'. Names two other poems he likes.Thinks it was Trevelyan's brother [George] who 'called the Industrial Revolution our greatest disaster'.
