Scope and content

Translation of Lucretius "De Rerum Natura" line 71ff. Dialogue from Trevelyan's "Lucifer Enchained". Draft of Section from "Krishna [and Radha]". Translation from Theocritus "Idyll 4". Translation from Lucretius book 4, including insertion on a loose sheet.

Notebook used from other side in for draft letter from Trevelyan to the appeal tribunal [1918] explaining that his objection to serving in the war is a moral obligation and not a political objection, and that he has been placed in the wrong grade for physical fitness since his back weakness prevent him from performing agricultural work and Dr Bruce Roxburgh has tested his eyes and said they are much below the required standard; would have appealed against his grading but did not now this was possible until it was too late. Draft from "The Three Encounters of Buddha"; draft poem, "From a peak of Glaramara I watch the vaporous clouds..."; perhaps other poems too.
