1 item

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Thanks them for letting him see the letter from Julian; thinks [his European travels, including a trip to Mount Athos] 'just the right thing for him to be doing at this stage in his life'. Asks if they know Geoffrey Young's poem on Mount Athos in "Wind and Hill". Is sending back Julian's letter and Sir George Trevelyan's letters to them both; thanks them for lending the letters and encloses 'proposals for further excerpst' [in his memoir he is writing of his father'. Thinks his visit to the Shiffolds was 'particularly pleasant and memorable'; glad they felt the same; 'the past.. seemed rising around us like a mist and enveloping us'.
