he would go _nowhere_ to church. I am sending you a corrected copy of my
translation of the first chorus in _Antigone_, since you honour it by

"To Dr. J. Nicholson, etc."


Another mention of the translation I also insert here. He had been able to
give far more time to it than if he had been in London, for he had in

Mrs. Pulszky is zealous in the Greek tragedians, and I have been helping
him to a little _Sophocles_ which put me up to translating the 1st Chorus
after I had been reading it with him...."

Here is the translation to which allusion is made:--

"SOPHOCLES, ANTIGONE"

1ST CHORAL SONG

_1st Strophe_
