Pièce 50 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Arrived yesterday from York. Met Mr Clarke at Newcastle and gave him lunch, then drove out to Wallington. Booa [Mary Prestwich] seems much better; Pantlin is taking a holiday; Hearn has given the footman a holiday. The bad news [unsatisfactory reports of the Battle of Jutland?] spoiled their pleasure at the return. Nixon came to see them last night; he is 'more solid than ever'. Mary sent a message that they would all visit this afternoon; unless it stops raining, Caroline hopes the children will not come. Pauline is recovered, and they are going on Tuesday to the sea; Miss Clarke [the governess] is taking all four of them by herself. Enjoyed visiting Annie [Philips], who is 'very cheerful, & has such a number of people about her, of every kind'. Will be glad when Elizabeth has Lily with her to help with Julian. Sir George will enjoy arranging the books from London. Glad Elizabeth likes the things from Gr[osvenor] Cr[escent].
