Item 166 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

The Shiffolds. - All is going well: the 'child had a good night, and Bessie too'. It now seems certain that she will not feed the child herself, but this 'will not much matter'. Supposes his mother will see Molly today, who will tell her more. He and Bessie are much looking forward to his mother's visit: they would prefer Thursday, but she should come on Wednesday if this is more convenient. Will try to be in London on Wednesday, so could come down on the early train with her, but will not come up to London unless everything is all right. Her letter [10/84] has just come saying that Thursday will suit her. Is pleased his father 'seems no worse for the journey'.
