Item 70 - Letter from Jelly d'Arányi to R. C. Trevelyan

1 letter

10 Netherton Grove, S.W.10. - Thanks Bob for sending her his 'lovely book' [the collected "From the Shiffolds" or "Windfalls"?]. They [she and her sister Adila?] are going to Forte dei Marmi on Thursday for four weeks; has not been to Italy since 1939 and is much looking forward to it. Spent this and last weekend with Titi [her sister Hortense]: 'such a relief to see her out of those nightmare Homes!'. 'Au revoir next automne [sic]'. Adds a postscript saying that Titi told her about Bob reading 'long Latin poems and English by the hour' and saying 'modestly' on stopping '"the trouble is, I am so stupid [underlined]"'. Bob can 'judge Titi's mental state' by her telling Jelly this story 'as a good joke'.
