Item 57 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Hopes that Julian enjoys school; thinks he should, as he is 'fond of his fellow creatures, not too sensitive, and very sensible'. Was amused by Elizabeth taking him to church; thinks it is sensible to do so occasionally so there is no 'mystery about it'; it is pleasant as a 'cheerful meeting of neighbours' and she goes herself sometimes for that reason. Encloses money for his suit, and asks Elizabeth to take a snapshot of him in it. George has 'got away from his work' and may get back to London today. Janet is delighted, and Sir George is very relieved; he 'fretted about him... after the casualties'. Expects Geoffrey [Young] will return to England soon; false limbs are so good now that 'he will be able to walk, though of course not to climb'. A charity event in Cambo on Saturday collected over twenty-two pounds for the Red Cross, and a whist drive tomorrow will raise more; everyone is looking forward to it, and it seems most people here play whist on winter evenings. Georgie has fallen from a tree at school and hurt himself; surprising that climbing without a master being present is allowed.
