Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Will be glad to welcome Elizabeth and Robert on 13 August; they will see Aunt Annie [Philips], who comes on the 9th. Glad they will be there for the 'festivities'; there will be the Exhibition, the servants' party, and a garden party for the neighbours to introduce Mary, who must 'make dignified little bows, and not jump onto the arms of chairs!'; she is 'great fun', and Elizabeth will like her when she knows her. Interested to hear of Miss [Laetitia] Ede, who is sure to get on since she has 'real energy'. Sir George knows nothing about Gregorian chants; he liked the 'florid music at the Oratory' and is sorry it has stopped. Asks if she should find someone to accompany Elizabeth on her visit; Mr [Charles?] Orde of Nunnykirk gave Caroline a name, which she encloses; it will be a problem what to do with her in the evening 'if she is not a lady' so she may ask her to come for the day to see what she is like. Cannot put Elizabeth up at Gr[osvenor] Cr[escent] on the 4th, as Maria [Springett] is taking her holiday and has put everything away; hopes it will not be inconvenient to go to a club or a hotel; believes the Great Northern Hotel is comfortable and would be convenient [this section of the letter crossed out] but Elizabeth is travelling by Euston. Hopes the weather is drier by Monday, when a group of hospital nurses are coming. Asks whether Mrs Salmonson [sic: Jeanne Salomonson Asser] will return to Holland when Elizabeth leaves Rottingdean.

Dr [Karl] Bluth has telephoned to say he has been to see Ursula, and 'all is going as well as can be expected'. They are very relieved; thinks Bessie is writing to Ursula. Is afraid it has been a 'very worrying time', but hopes this will 'get rid of the trouble for good and all'. Bessie has not been well today, but Bob thinks it is 'nothing much'. Alice [Elms?]'s operation seems to have been successful.

45, London Road, Sevenoaks. - Thanks Trevelyan for sending his autograph for Davies' copy of the "Georgian Poets": was 'very silly' of him to start 'that kind of business', but since he had a few names 'in his possession' he decided to try to complete the set.

Anvers - Thanks her for 'Le Bouc émissaire', is not in charge of writing reviews of English books [for 'La Renaissance d'Occident'] but expects an exception can be made to this rule.

Paris, 7 Rue Lincoln VIIIe [on mourning stationery] - Is sorry to hear Frazer is unwell, but is cheered that she is there to support him; admires 'Aftermath'; is increasingly concerned about fanatics and armaments of Germany and hopes that when the catastrophe is unleashed that England will be strong and ready; if not there is much to fear next spring.

Addressed to Trevelyan at the Friends War Victims Relief Committee, France. - His next chess move. Asks if he has a pawn in front of his king. Is not a candidate for a Provostship.

Postmarked 'Exposition Coloniale Int[ernationa]le, Paris. - Main message in card in Suhrawardy's hand: they will be delighted to put Trevelyan up when he comes; Suhrawardy will meet him at the station. They are sitting at the Javanese restaurant drinking tea and milk; Rex [the dog] is drinking the milk. Maria Germanova, Aleksandre Kalitinsky, and Andrusha [their son Andrew] all sign their names.

22 Willow Rd, Hampstead. - Writing on her brother Roger's behalf: apologises that he has no time this week to meet Trevelyan but would like very much to see him next week. Helen is sleeping and eating well; she was very restless on Sunday but quieter now, though more depressed. Roger visited yesterday but did not see her. Her doctor seems to have encouraged him to be hopeful, but he evidently expects a long period of recovery.

Thanks for the return of a case.
