11 St. Leonard's Terrace, SW3. - Should have thanked Bob before for the 'charming Vergil' [his translation of the "Eclogues" and "Georgics"], which he loves; thinks the introductory verses 'one of the best things' Bob has 'ever written'. The gods could not give a 'pleasanter gift' than 'mellowing such Hesperian fruit on autumnal boughs' as Bob is doing. In return, would like to send him 'another Hesperian apple': Grierson's 'altogether delightful book on "Rhetoric [and English Composition]", if he doesn't have it. Is sending copies to his friend; it was published in an 'out-of-the-way corner' and he only heard of it by chance.
