Item 124 - Typed letter from Oliver Elton to R. C. Trevelyan regarding Lascelles Abercrombie

One typed letter (two sheets); addressed, signed and corrected in ink, with endorsements in pencil.

293, Woodstock Road, Oxford. - Trevelyan will not remember their brief meeting at The Gallows thirty years ago; Elton is writing to him, as Abercrombie's executor, as he himself is writing a memoir of Abercrombie for the British Academy. Hopes Trevelyan can help him pin down the composition and first appearance of a number of Abercrombie's works, including theatrical performances of his dramatic poems and his journalism; pencil notes may be Trevelyan's responses to some of these questions. Originally enclosing a copy of an obituary notice [by Elton?] which appeared in the "Oxford Magazine" and is to be reprinted in the "Malvernian" and the volume of tributes (to which he expects Trevelyan will also contribute).
