Stuk 89 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

[On headed notepaper for 40 Ennismore Gardens, SW]. Has been taking his 'tonic', but has already finished one bottle so will need another by the end of the week. Mr A[rnold] 'will probably come down tomorrow [after being ill]', but will not resume 'all his usual work for some time'. Thinks his mother might be able to visit next week, 'certainly not this week'; will let her know next Sunday if Mr Arnold is well enough. It was half-term last Friday. Yesterday there was a 'fall of snow', but it 'hardly lay at all'. Wrote to 'Grandpapa P[hilips] today. They [Robert and George] are 'both getting on very well'. Is reading a book lent to him by Mr Arnold, Froude's Oceana which is 'about the colonies, and is very interesting'. Is glad Charlie is getting well at Harrow.
