Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

2, Cheyne Gardens. - Thanks Bessie for her 'most flattering remarks', and Bob for his 'kind note'; glad they 'didn't find the old lady [Janet's article "Goethe's Mother", in the October number of the "Quarterly Review"] very dull reading. Afraid that neither the Friday or Monday Bessie suggests for her and George to visit will work, as they are visiting the Sydney Buxtons on Sunday the 25th; asks if they could come on Friday 1st December instead. Has heard 'great accounts' of the house [the Shiffolds] from Caroline, and longs to see it herself.
