Pièce 63 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

Thanks his mother for her letter. The editors [of the school newspaper] have 'not had time to print the paper', so it will come out tomorrow and he will send it on soon. Notes in Latin that they were beaten 'in a great fight': seven-nil. Their next match is on the 3rd. He played at right wing as he did for the last match; has 'got an eleven-cap' as several others have. Has not yet had time to answer 'Grandpapa' yet [Sir Charles Trevelyan or Robert Needham Philips], but will today. Asked about Fredy [sic] Stephenson at Farnborough, and found he was 'top of the school'; Freddy 'must be very young for that'. There are seventy-six boys at Farnborough.
