Stuk 154 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

[On headed paper for Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland]:- Hears that Georgie 'has got into the select list in Bowen's prize, and seems to be doing very well'. Is himself 'working very hard now to try and gain some places [in his form]' and things he should be able to. Charlie is 'very well', and Robert thinks he 'will come out high next time he is placed'.

Is taking his cod-liver oil, and likes it very much. Thinks they will have two holidays 'for [W. G.?] Headlam, who has done something wonderful at Cambridge'. Hopes his father's cold is now better. 'Bozy's [Bosworth Smith's?] are cock-house in torpids' as they 'easily beat' Bushell's. Hopes his grandfather [probably Robert Needham Philips, but possibly Sir Charles Trevelyan if the letter was written in 1886] is better now. Has 'not very much to say', as he only saw her a short time ago; hopes he will have more to write next time.
