Stuk 133 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

[On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland]: - Thanks his mother for her letter, which he got this morning. Is 'getting on very well' in his form, taken by Mr Glazebrook; thinks there is a 'very good set in it'. Is still with Mr S- for science. Thinks 'the pond is alright now'. They [he and Charlie] both much enjoyed the fruit. Is glad 'Grandpapa is so nearly all right now' and has been able to return to the Park [his house]. Is enjoying 'footer very much' and usually plays every day. Is now doing drawing and has so far had one lesson; thinks he may perhaps 'be able to learn something'. The weather is still fine, hopes it will stay that way. They will be having fires soon. Will find a Shakespear[e] 'very useful', as he will read it when he has 'nothing to do'.

Adds a postscript saying they had 'house-singing yesterday, which was great fun'. Is starting to play 'squash-racket'.
