Item 148 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Annie [Philips] left yesterday after an enjoyable visit; she was very well. Mary is 'quite laid up'; thinks she will get through if she keeps very quiet; Dr Williams is away but her locum has visited and seemed efficient; Mary needs to take these precautions after [her miscarriage] last year. Asks if Mary wrote to Elizabeth inviting her and to stay in October when Sir George and Caroline are away, when C[harles] would also be away. M[argaret?] Vaughan Williams would like to come when Elizabeth was at Wallington; they would also like to see her. Hopes Robert is getting on with his arrangements and innoculations [for his trip to the East]. Pauline sprained her ankle and 'hopped about' for a while but is now better, as is Kitty. Is glad that Molly's cousin is coming on Wednesday; has been playing piquet with her. Julian is 'a duck' and will become most amusing now; glad the nannie will have a good holiday, and hopes Nurse Shepherd will 'satisfy' Julian. The rain is 'beyond words' and is now affecting all the potatoes. Sir George is much better and very interested in Elizabeth's question.
