Item 22 - Letter from Charles Du Bos to R. C. Trevelyan

Grand Hotel du Righi, Boulevard de Righi, Nice. - Gained 'great pleasure' from Trevelyan's letter; asks to be excused for not replying sooner. His wife called at the Hotel de Londres, but they said that no post had arrived for Trevelyan except for some catalogues they had forwarded. His daughter [Primerose] is 'in [a] good state' and has been able to benefit from the 'splendid' weather. They leave for Paris on 27 April, and look forward to seeing Trevelyan when he passes through; gives their address. Spent a few days with B.B. [Bernard Berenson] at Mrs [Edith] Wharton's, and gave him Trevelyan's news. Berenson will leave soon for Florence so they will see each other there; he was in 'very good form', and Du Bos was glad to see him. Very 'touched' by what Trevelyan says about Du Bos's 'little "Merimee"'; he and his wife have begun to read the "Oresteia" and greatly admired Trevelyan's 'skill' in such a 'very difficult task' of translation. Hope Florence is as 'delightful as ever'; wishes they could 'roam together among the beautiful hills'.
