Pièce 60 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

Thanks his mother for her letter. Asks if he will go [home?] on Thursday or Friday. Charlie wrote to him yesterday saying he thought they would meet at Rugby; Robert had thought they would meet at Reading. Some jackets came for him, but they were all too small. The school played Farnborough, and had a one-all draw; Robert saw Mure [?] there, who seemed very well. Adds a postscript to say that the Conservatives are in a majority in the Youth Parliament, but that there are nineteen Liberals and seventeen Conservatives in the school. Writes out verse: 'This time 1 week where shall I be, out of the clutches of A. P. E. No more latin no more Greek, no more cane to make you squeak... No more milk in dirt mugs, no more blankets full of bugs... No more nasty bloody mutton, no more shirts without button...'.
