Contains enquiries on Tennyson's time at Trinity, and thinking ahead to his death. With letter, 30 Oct. 1940, from Bevan's brother Edwyn to the Master of Trinity (G. M. Trevelyan).

He and Helen did not make it to the sea due to heat, but got to Petworth and had a 'divine evening' in the Park; went on to Fittleworth and slept at a good inn [probably the Swan] where they saw Edmund Garrett's 'effusions' and drawings by J. Badley in the visitors' book. They have been to Agnews [Thomas Agnew & Sons, Old Bond Street, to see an exhibition of twenty Italian masters]; Agnew is 'utterly commercial but quite pleasant'. Discusses the authenticity of the pictures: thinks Trevelyan is wrong and the Raphael portrait is genuine. Asks Trevelyan to visit and meet Mrs Grammont [sic: Bramine Hubrecht, painter, wife of Alphonse Grandmont].
