Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

Wengen. - Glad that Robert is pleased by what [the award of the Order of Merit to Sir George] 'gives them much pleasure'; has had many letters, and all the papers (which Romeike sends in 'shoals') including the Tory ones approve it. Knew nothing of it until receiving a letter from Lord Knollys; had 'only just time to telegraph acceptance'. Glad the nurse seems all right; hears that Julian is 'a glorious boy'. He and Caroline are reading their new edition of Stevenson's letters, of which Colvin has made 'an admirable and quite sufficient biography'.
