Pièce 177 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

The View, Upper Wyche, near Malvern. - Thanks her for her letter; hopes she is 'quite well' now and has not found the cold weather trying; it has been 'fearfully cold' up here, though today is better. Expects Bessie will be going to his mother at Welcombe today; believes she 'had to change her plans because of visits'. Would like very much to go home by way of Welcombe after Easter: perhaps Bessie could come over here for a week or two, though this would be best early next week since 'the house will be full on Easter Sunday, and perhaps on the Thursday before Easter'. Colwall is the nearest station.

Gets on well with [Will] A[rnold] Forster, a 'very pleasant companion'. Does not remember Malvern at all,'nor the chickenpox'. This is a 'beautiful place'; they are 'nearly up at the top, and have a very wide view from the windows', and the lodgings are comfortable. Expects Julian will enjoy being at Welcombe; will be 'very glad to see him again'. A pity nurse [Catt] did not 'quite get well again at Eastbourne', but hears she is better. Sends love to his father.
