Stuk 218 - Letter from Clara Tovey to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item.

Hedenham Lodge, Bungay, Suffolk. - Donald says he can manage some proofs, so asks Trevelyan to send the ones needing final revision only and they will see how they get on. He has done a couple of pieces already, such as the examination papers for Edinburgh this week, but he varies and Dr Basden is anxious that he 'should not be pressed in any way'. This is why she will not take up Trevelyan's kind proposal to come and help for the moment, as she feels Donald might push himself too hard. The doctor suggests going away for a change, but she does not want to until they can do without a nurse. Encloses [Hubert] Foss's letter and asks Trevelyan to answer it.; feels he will do this 'more indefinitely' than she will be able to. The Toveys wonder if the Trevelyans might be able to take them in for a while in November; the doctors suggest the sea but she feels a seaside hotel in November would be 'rather dreary' and she feels he needs 'a change of mental atmosphere as well as a change of climate'.
