Stuk 132 - Letter from Caroline Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Has returned home; enjoyed her visit to the Shiffolds; was good to see Elizabeth and Robert 'comfortably settled'; the house is 'quite charming' and it will be quite perfect if they can get the landlord to cut down some trees to increase the view. She travelled up on Thursday with their 'talkative neighbour, Mr Arbuthnot'. Had a busy afternoon with Aunt Annie [Philips], then a 'pleasant time at Cheyne Gardens' [George and Janet's house] before travelling north yesterday. Has been up to see Mary and the baby who are 'both flourishing', and has 'sent them for a drive'. Sir George was very interested to hear about the house. Asks if Robert has written to Mr St. M. [Sturge Moore?]; it is 'best to be open about such things, as they only rankle if not spoken of'.
