‘I rec your play and Annual. Thank you very much. The play is gorgeous, one of the chiefest pleasures of my leave days; and for this I thank you indeed. The ideas are exactly what we all think out here—and the court martial of the Kaiser and kings etc might have been copied from one of ours … I have not had a chance of looking at the Annual yet but will do so before I go back.’

Additional Comments:
Trevelyan published several works which might fall into the category of 'plays' before 1918, including "Sisyphus: An Operatic Fable" (1908), "The Bride of Dionysus a music-Drama" and Other Poems (1912), "The New Parsifal: An Operatic Fable "(1914), "The Foolishness of Solomon" (1915), and "The Pterodamozels: An Operatic Fable" (1916).
