Item 23 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Is busy with Sir George, whose hand is healing slowly, though there is nothing wrong and the stitches have now been taken out. Thinks Elizabeth's suggestion of coming at Whitsuntide is good; it will be pretty then with the hawthorns out; wishes she could see the primroses and daffodils in the grass now. Went to the nursing meeting yesterday; it went well but she had to do 'a good deal of diplomatic work beforehand'. Miss Robinson is staying here, and Dora Arkle is staying with the Hearns; they have been sightseeing, and all go north together tomorrow. Glad Julian likes the book. Asks to be remembered to Mrs [Laetitia] Hutchison. A postscript on a separate sheet knows that they would be glad if Elizabeth could bring 'a girl to do the laundry work'; this would also allow Nannie [Evans?] a chance to get away for a while.
