Item 38 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Mary Bell has been to stay with her parents; the father 'very nice, clever & pleasant'; the mother 'has an unfortunate manner & voice' and sometimes 'talks a little foolishly', but she is sure she is very 'kind & good, & seems sensible in practical matters'. Mary was 'beaming & happy, & much quieter', so they all got on well. Hopes that Elizabeth is well and that business [about the new house?] is going well. They are going tomorrow to Rownton Grange [sic: Rounton, the Bells' home]; she goes to Welcombe on Thursday.
