Stuk 73 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Sends a report of the Whitefriars dinner, as it contains 'some personal circumstances' which might interest Robert. Hopes Elizabeth is sharing the 'glorious weather' at Welcombe. Is 'easing off work'; has finished Lucretius and begun Bergk's "Poetae [lyrici] Graecae": 'the perfection of poetry, in a society exactly suited to it'. Has Robert's old letter about it; questions Verrall's dating of Tyrtaeus to the sixth century [BC]. Lionel [Holland] is one of the party coming next week.
