Item 237 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

They got here safely on Saturday, and 'found the lodgings very comfortable'. He and Georgie are 'quite well'. Likes it here a lot, though thinks there are 'too many people on the esplanade'. They went to 'Beachy-head' this morning, but did not have dinner there as it was very cold. Georgie is 'very interested in the soldiers', which they have 'on a table in the window'. There is 'not much time for reading', but he is doing 'a little Latin', and reading some of [Gaskell's] Wives and Daughters, which he likes 'very much'. Has not seen anyone he knows here except one Harrow boy, whom he does not know well'. They cook well here, and there are 'very good things to eat'. Booa [Mary Prestwich] seems well and is greatly enjoying herself. Hopes Charlie is 'getting on well with his essay'. Has 'done a few hexameters'. Adds a postscript asking whether she has found [Arthur?] Wormald's address.

'[from a holiday]' added in pencil at the top of the letter.
