Item 186 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

On headed notepaper for 8 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.:- Thanks his mother for the money, which 'will do very well until the end of term' since he has 'no more subscriptions or bats to buy'. All is going well; wishes they would read out Charlie's essay, and thinks they will tomorrow. [Charles?] Pope almost got into the eleven yesterday; expects he will on Tuesday and is certain to do so at some point. [Lawrie?] Oppenheim has got hay-fever and gone to Brighton and Margate for a fortnight; a shame as this will spoil his already uncertain chance of getting in, but Robert thinks he may just get the last place if he returns in time. Charlie has been 'distinguishing himself in cricket a good deal': he 'made 50 yesterday in the firsth fifth game'. Robert gets on 'well enough in the second eleven'.

Is currently reading Frederick Harrison's The Choice of Books; he does not much like the style, which seems 'to be too much for effect', but finds the 'matter and ideas' very interesting
