Scope and content
c/o Mrs Waley, West Watch, Ferry Drive, Wraysbury, Staines. - Trevelyan's card to Stephen [Waley] has just arrived: thanks him very much for retrieving the rucksack, and for joining them at Seatoller. Even if he is called up now, feels that 'for one week at least, I have "lived"'. Has written a long letter to his father describing their time in the Lakes, especially Trevelyan's pyjama-clad reading of Gogarty and arrival 'with a packet of St. Joel and cold plum pudding'. Wishes Trevelyan could have come to the "Beggars' Opera" too, which was glorious. Has not heard yet from the War Office; hopes he may come to the Shiffolds.
