Item 330 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

The Shiffolds. - Thanks his mother for her last letter. Bessie is in London for today, returning this evening. Last Saturday a friend drove them to Bedales for a '"Merry Evening"... several short plays acted by the boys and girls, and a few of the staff, and some music. The acting was really very good'. Julian had a small part, he 'is not naturally an actor, though he did what he had to do quite well'; he 'also helped in arranging and producing the plays'. He seemed well and happy.

Has had a good review of his Thamyris in the New Statesman, which he will send with some others. Hopes to visit, probably some time in January before he goes abroad. Will write to his father soon. Sends love to him and Aunt Annie.
