Pièce 136 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

[On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland]: - Thanks his mother for her letter; Charlie has lent him his letter to read as well. Was '3rd this fortnight, and Charlie was 12th, Goetz was top and Giffard second'. Does not think Charlie did badly, since he had missed a fortnight [due to illness]; he 'may still get his fez but it is not certain'; went for a walk with him today. Is glad their father is 'enjoying himself'. They have all got fires now. Is 'enjoying footer very much'. Will work hard this fortnight to see if he can come first; he will at least get his remove. Hopes his parents will get the gate for the terrace if it is not too expensive. The weather has been fine today so 'the footer-field will not be so wet'. Blackwood went back to India last Monday. Had house singing yesterday, and sang 'Bojon [?E. E. Bowen]'s new song'.
