      Note

      "Mary & the Bramble" is written on the front of the notebook, "Herod & Mariamne, 1898"on the back cover. Possible that some or all of this book is in Lascelles Abercrombie's hand: see 1/30, a letter from Abercrombie to Trevelyan dated 25 May [1910] in which he returns Sturge Moore's play - perhaps a reference to "Mariamne" and sends "Mary and the Bramble", as well as 1/32, a letter dated 16 Aug [1910], in which Abercrombie is pleased that Trevelyan liked the "Hymn [to Love]".
