Stuk 160 - Letter from Grettie Tovey to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item.

Balmoral Hotel, Princes Street, Edinburgh. - She and Don are delighted that they will see Mrs Trevelyan in Edinburgh; asks if Mr Trevelyan will not come as well. Things are looking brighter now they have a new doctor in Edinburgh: Dr Floyer of Egham was 'too dreadfully discouraging'. They feel thankful to be together and justified in the decision since the doctor approves; they go to furnished rooms on Monday. They are busy at the moment, with lectures and meetings for Don; Grettie goes with him to his class room and makes him tea between classes; he makes a 'fine lecturer & exponent'. As well as the move to Lauriston Place, they have to organise the clearing of their belongings from George Square by Thursday, since it is to be let; it is damp in any case. Don is much better than last winter, and they 'may hope for peace of mind'. The Buxton cure was 'rather a farce' and 'lacking in thoroughness'. Apologises that they will not be able to put Mrs Trevelyan up. There seems to be no doubt that Gerald Cornish has been killed.
