Item 157 - Letter from Anna Maria Philips to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Lansdowne, Tunbridge Wells. - Thanks Robert for his letter telling them of his engagement; could not reply sooner as she did not have his address in Italy until his mother sent it her. She and Sophie [Wicksteed] much hope to meet Miss van der Hoeven in the spring when she visits England; would be nice if he could bring her here to meet them. Expects he is enjoying 'lovely' weather in South Italy; the Dee is frozen at Chester and on Wednesday it was the coldest it has been at night at many places since 1895, so he is wise to be abroad. Asks where they think of living when they are married, and when the wedding will take place. Sophie sends 'best love & warmest congratulations'.
