Item 148 - Letter from George Macaulay Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Is writing before 'this unredeemed calamity' [war] falls to send 'fraternal sympathy and love' to Bob and Bessie. '[Clifford] Allen, dear man, is well out of it', and George wishes he were as well. 'Both our statesmen and our people have made mistake after mistake ever since the armistice'. He is to be a 'civil "intelligence officer"' in the East Anglia office for civil defence (A.R.P); Janet will do work for refugee children, since her London Play Centres will close; he thinks 'she will be much more useful' than he will. They came down a few days ago from Hallington.
