Item 77 - Letter from Bernard Darwin to R. C. Trevelyan

1 letter.

Gorringes, Downe, Kent. - His and his wife's thanks for Bob's 'magnificent Christmas card ["From the Shiffolds"], which gives him a 'nice Greek feeling' and makes him wish he had worked harder at 'that noble language' when he was young. The Darwins are looking forward to Julian and Ursula [their daughter] coming with Philip on Christmas Eve; thinks they intend to leave early on Boxing Day for a children's party in London. The weather is 'infernally seasonable' here, though the forecast is 'cheering'; hopes the Trevelyans are not 'frozen'.
