One black hardcover notebook. 118 ff (lined pages) plus two plain flyleaves. 12 pages detached from binding.

Translation of Montaigne II.10 and "Oedipus at Colonus" 184ff. Notebook also used from other end: translation of Montaigne II.8 and III.7. Also list of names on three pages - 'E[lizabeth] T[revelyan], Miss [Rosalind] Simpkins, K[enneth?] Clark...' - crossed through in red with blue crosses and line [probably a distribution list, perhaps for "From the Shiffolds", since the third page has a note ''38 copies left. 39 envelopes']. Draft verse - 'It is true that lovers care little...' - and prose piece about 'ecstasies'. Draft letter from Trevelyan to [Kenneth] Sisam asking whether he is interested in publishing Trevelyan's translations of Montaigne's "Essays"; letter to be sent with a draft introduction explaining the principles by which Trevelyan has chosen the essays translated, a list of translated essays, and some examples [22/15 may be Sisam's reply to this letter, dated 24 Jan 1947]. Translation of Montaigne II.1, II.6, "Essay on Education" [from Book I], II.11 "on Cruelty", II.1, II.6, I.40

22/15: letter, 24 Jan 1947, from Sisam to Trevelyan, possibly a reply to draft in this notebook.
