Item 142 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

[On headed notepaper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland]: - Thanks his mother for her letter. Is sorry that his grandfather's finger is 'still bad'; will write to him soon. Came third in the 'house half mile', and in the mile race today he 'did not quite come in, but was about seventh'. Has not caught a cold, as he 'go[es] up directly after each race'. Charlie is very well. Was '4th in the history paper'; does not think they will be placed next week, but that there will be 'a 3 weeks' placing, at the end of the term'.

Snowed hard on several days last week, and it has not yet quite disappeared though there has been heavy rain this afternoon. Has 'received the cod-liver oil'. Hopes his father is well. The holidays are 'getting quite close now'. Is doing 'very well' in his form, and working hard as it is the last fortnight.
