Scope and content
British Museum, London, W.C.1. - Hopes the 'anti-flu apparatus' [see 17/27] has reached Trevelyan; it 'may puzzle the customs-authorities'; supposes Trevelyan will get leave at Christmas. London is 'intolerable this week' [due to the armistice]; it is 'impossible to get dinner at a restaurant' because of the crowds; supposes things will 'subside gradually. Paris must have been even more emotional'. Hopes Trevelyan can 'bear that sort of thing'; he himself 'very much dislike[s] women's voices which are so prominent at times like these'. The [British Museum] Print Room is as 'good a refuge from Peace as it was from War'. The conscientious objectors are all wondering whether their services will still be require, most favour 'eloping'. His younger brother [Hubert] hopes to get into the Treasury until 'Peace is properly fixed up'; his other brother [Sigismund] will of course go back when he is out of hospital'. Looks forward to 'tremendous conversations about Literature' when Trevelyan returns.
