Item 198 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

[on mourning notepaper]:- Is writing for the Greek prose, though he will 'not have time to do it really well'. Georgie has done his Latin prose. The weather is still 'keeping very fine', though sometimes cold. 'There is nothing interesting going on here'; the school is doing better at cricket. He 'can get the eggs next year instead'.

Is glad she and his father are enjoying themselves. Asks if his father has finished the library yet; supposes they will soon get to know the books' 'new homes', and it will be convenient to have 'shelves for various subjects'. He and Georgie are well. Has not been to 'ducker' [the outdoor swimming pool] yet, but will when it gets a little warmer. 'Georgie, of course, passed in swimming'. Is reading a lot of Greek this week, mainly Plato's Phaedo and Arrian's Alexander; this will be good preparation for the Greek prose.
