Item 49 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

Thanks his mother for her letter, which he got today. Thinks she 'might as well' send him 'Archie's book' [Henty's True to the Old Flag, see 45/48?] straightaway. Is glad 'Papa is well again'. Charlie has sent 'his first impressions of Harrow', which Robert thinks will go into the [school] paper. Sends love to all. 'Grandpapa T[revelyan]' has just sent Robert '20 bob [shillings]'. The school 'played Cameron on Saturday and were licked'; the score was 'equal until about the last minute, neither side having got a goal', until Cameron scored; it was a 'very good game'. Robert was 'on the right wing with Melly. Leveson and Hicks went as reporters'. Is 'getting on very well'.
