Item 51 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

8 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Got back comfortably after their 'very pleasant day' with Elizabeth and Robert; Sir George is 'full of admiration of the [new] house & the wildness of the country'. Originally enclosing 'specimens of the latest leaflets' [about women's suffrage?], as well as Mary Booth's letter, which she asks Elizabeth to destroy when read. Thinks she will be out every evening this week, but could happily put Elizabeth up, though not Robert, as she wants to 'keep [Sir George] quiet'; Elizabeth herself is 'quietness itself'. Went to the [women's suffrage] Deputation yesterday; very interesting and the speeches 'extremely good'. C[ampbell-]B[annerman] was 'very disappointing', but she feels his sympathies were with them and he 'hated to be so discouraging'; sure it is the Cabinet that have outvoted him and have made a 'great mistake'.
