Pièce 68 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - A letter from Bob has come, with news about his job as librarian [with the Friends War Victims Relief Committee]; seems sensible and pleases him; she thinks he will be 'very useful'. Good to hear that Elizabeth has found interesting work; had thought she might have found something with the Friends and spent the winter in Paris, but then there is Julian. He will learn self-control, and that he cannot have 'things always the same'. Good that Mrs Fish [headmistress of Dunhurst] takes an interest in him; Elizabeth will be very glad to see him. Kitty's behaviour is 'most pleasant'. Very good that Mrs Tovey is back with her husband; hopes it is a 'real cure'. The village has been busy; the 'Sayle' was very successful. Yesterday Meta Hearn was married to a young farmer; went to see the presents and meet the family; Hearn is very glad it is over. Must have been exciting to get into Edward Grey's 'big meeting'; has read the speech, and heard he spoke 'quite vigorously'; he is 'nearly blind, but in much better health'. Thinks they will leave Wallington on 5 November, stopping a night in York.
