Pièce 5 - Letter from Catharine Hodgkin to R. C. Trevelyan

Old Ridley, Stocksfield, Northumberland. - Lily G.J. [Gresford Jones] spent some time here last week, and they spent several hours sorting through old letters kept by [Catharine's husband] Edward; Lily thought 'Mr "Trevy"' might like to see them [16/1-4?]. It is 'a saddening thing to read old letters', but they 'bring back happy times'; the 'rare Cambridge days (& after) held so much for your band of friends'. Hopes that Bob is now finally recovering. Sends love to Bessie; it has been a long time since they met.
