Stuk 57 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Encloses a letter from Gilbert Murray which he asks Robert to return; curious what he says about Euripides; is not sure whether he agrees with him about the New Comedy, of which he is planning to read the fragments soon; Terence is charming. Is reading Theocritus and is much impressed; is also reading [Cicero's] dialogues, which 'tunes the mind for one's morning's work'. Sends love to Elizabeth; is glad she is reading [Richardson's] "Clarissa"; thinks Clarissa's 'short letter to Lovelace' may, in its way, be 'the most extraordinary thing in literature'.
