Item 288 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Edward Marsh

1 item

Very sorry his play [the "Pterodamozels", see 19/49] never reached Eddie and sends another copy. There has been a slight delay about the "Lucretius [on Death]", but hopes to send Eddie and Mrs Montgomery's [Alberta? Montgomery, see 19/49] copies in a week. He and his family are going to Arnside, near Silverdale, next week until Christmas, to be near a school where they are sending Julian as a day boy; will see Lascelles [Abercrombie] at Liverpool on the way up, and will try to remember to write telling Eddie how Lascelles and his family are, as well as Gordon [Bottomley], whom they will be near. When he saw Lascelles last June, he semed 'less tired and gloomy than last year', while Catherine [his wife] was also 'fairly cheerful', but he thought that after the war he would 'have to accept the first American offer' to be a lecturer or professor in the US, unless something turned up here.

19/49: letter, 4 Sept 1917, from Edward Marsh to R. C. Trevelyan, to which this is a reply.
