Unidad documental simple 40 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Thanks for the postcard, which has just the information she needs. Returned last night; found that Sir George had got back by the previous train and had no cold. Mrs Winkworth has written to say the 'Macaulay tablet' is to be unveiled at Holly Lodge on 26 November; Robert and Elizabeth will have an invitation from the C[ounty] C[ouncil]. Mrs Winkworth is keen for some of the Trevelyans to be there: Sir George has always said he would 'feel it too much to be present'; Caroline herself cannot go up next week; Charles is, she thinks, 'introducing Mary to his constituents with much festivity'; so only Robert and George 'remain to represent the family'. Lord Rosebery is to perform the ceremony, and most of the County Council will be there. She and Sir George hope that Elizabeth and Robert can come in December. Hopes 'Doggie is better'.
