Item 147 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Robert has written fully to Sir George about his journey [to the East with Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson] which now seems very likely. They think he should be able to go on the journey if Elizabeth is well and if they can make 'comfortable plans' for her and Julian; would not think it right for her to stay at the Shiffolds through the winter. They suggest that she and Julian should settle with them when Robert leaves; understands that she probably will not want to spend the whole time 'with 2 old people' and might like to go with a friend to somewhere dry and warm like Torquay or Sidmouth for some of the winter which they would pay for. The house could be let, or left with the 'newly married couple'. Sorry that Lady Vaughan Williams is ill. A postscript notes that Sir George is writing to Robert; he and Elizabeth can 'think it over together'.
