With carbon copy of reply from R. A. Butler,

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Sorry that the journey to Rounton was 'so agitating'. Mary has written to say the wedding went well; Elizabeth's account is amusing. Expects she misses Julian, but they are glad to have him for a little longer at Wallington; he has been playing with his toys then was happy for Hearne [the butler] to carry him upstairs. Hopes Elizabeth and Robert have a good Christmas Day; asks to be remembered to the Enticknaps; hopes Gussie got home safely. Will be nice if Elizabeth comes to fetch Julian on Thursday. Sir George says there is a good review of Mrs [Janet] Ross in the "Nation"; she hopes Robert will lend her the book ["Lives of the early Medici as told in their correspondence"]

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.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Thanks them for the postcard; will always keep it 'as a remembrance of the Mill House'; likes his, the back with Bessie in, a lot. Will be very interesting to see the other house [The Shiffolds] go up.

Contains: poems, "There Must Be Time For Grief" and "Spider", by Ursula Wood; "Mon Camarade est Anglais" by E. M. Forster; poem, "Homo Sum", by Anthony Wilson; "The Wallington Ponds" by R. C. Trevelyan; poem, "To a Friend", by Logan Pearsall Smith.

Metelliano. - Enclosing a list of passages in G.M. Trevelyan's "English Social History" on which Morra seeks clarification for his translation [see also 5/102]. Asks that if R. C. Trevelyan is in the nursing home already and cannot attend to them, he should pass them on to someone else, perhaps his brother. Hopes the operation has gone well and asks to be informed about it. It was snowing heavily today and he remembered the Shiffolds. Tells Trevelyan to come to Italy in the spring.
