Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan
TRER/12/384 · Item · 27 Aug 1925
Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Robert's letter bears out all Mary Caroline said about how 'pleasant and profitable' he and Bessie made her visit to them. Likes to think about Robert and Julian at the Tate Gallery. One of the 'effects' which most struck him on visits to great collections of Europe was the sight 'through a vista of dross of Sargeant's [sic: Sargent] portrait of himself in... the wonderful "Hanging Committee"'. He and Caroline are now tired nearly all of the time, but not unhappy; 'Providence all round is very kind'.
