Item 264 - Letter from Dora Russell to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Carn Voel, Porthcurno, Penzance. - Very sorry that the Trevelyans will not be coming to Cornwall: John especially would like to see Bessie and Julian again. They must come for a holiday another year - asks if they could possibly fit in a holiday in July; the difficulty is in finding rooms; wishes there was more room in the house. Bessie must come and see the school. Five or six children are coming from New York. They have 'taken a parents' home for visitors' and she is 'having a delightful time planning rooms, furniture etc.' Valya Rosengotz, son of the Soviet chargé d'affaires [Arkady Rosengolts], is with them; he is a 'delightful creature', a great favourite with the children, and they are 'dreading the severance of diplomatic relations in case he should be sent away'.
