Item 289 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Edward Marsh

1 item

Thanks Eddie for his letter on his mother's death; she had 'become very feeble, both in body and mind, of late years', so her death was 'not unexpected'; Bob's father still 'feels it a great deal, though he takes it stoically'; Bob fears he is 'becoming very weak physically', though still has much vitality. It was a very happy marriage, of almost sixty years; she was 'a very affectionate mother to us all, and to Bessie too'. Glad that Eddie knew her 'in old days', just as he has 'so pleasant a recollection' of Eddie's mother.
