W[est] H[ackhurst]. - Asks Trevelyan to 'find 8 lines of Dirge for the death of a Squire' to be set to music [for the pageant "England's Pleasant Land"]. V[aughan] W[illiams] recommends that the lines be about "In Memoriam" length. Also quotes an ode [Horace 2.14] in Latin, asks for the reference and whether there is a good translation.
