Item 212 - Letter from Janet Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

The Master's Lodge, Trinity College, Cambridge. - Encourages Bessie to make a 'great and mighty effort' to visit before George and Janet go north in the summer; Miss Simpkins is of course also welcome. They are fairly busy in May, with visits from the Cheswrights and the 'young Fletchers', but June is possible; though it would be best to avoid Whitsun when travelling is bad, and the weekend of the Trinity Ball as she thinks she will have to put up some of the 'young ladies' at the Lodge'. Bob could come a little later, unless he prefers to come to Hallington in August. Does 'tremble a little' at the thought of Hallington 'with limited service, limited food and limited petrol'; have just spent three weeks there 'putting it all to rights again' and it does look attractive. Wants very much to show Bessie all their babies [grandchildren]. Asks in a postscript whether Bessie would be able to bring any rations, as she and George have 'no allowance of any kind'.
