Scope and content
Has known Robert Trevelyan well for over twenty years: Trevelyan has 'always thought sincerely & conscientiously on matters of conduct, private & public, & behaved accordingly'. Knows that Trevelyan has 'always been convinced that the war was wrong & that it was his duty to refuse to take any part in it'. Llewelyn Davies does not agree with him on this point, but has 'always recongnised & respected his conviction as genuine & as one on which, according to his conscience, he was bound to act'.
