Scope and content
Cortona (Arezzo). - Apologises for not writing sooner because of ill-health and the heat; Trevelyan has had a token of his regard in the book about Machiavelli which is not meant to be scholarly but has charm and 'is not in the least stupid'; he could tell Lowes Dickinson that Machiavelli has only one 'c'. Trevelyan will see the 'B.B.s' [Bernard Berensons] soon. Is reading Virginia Woolf, and does not think her very entertaining; finds it easier to read, for example, Valéry. Is also reading [Dostoevsky's "Brothers] Karamazov" in what he hopes is a faithful Italian translation, to which he reacts with enthusiasm though says he 'can't think of it as literature'. Sends love to Bessie and Julian if he is there.
