Pièce 26 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Thanks Julian for his letter and picture; likes the colour and contrast in the picture, though he and Elizabeth differ over whether part of it is a tree root or a rabbit hole. Will be interested to hear the new poems; missed Julian's recital of poems from last term, but expects he has forgotten those by now. Is dining in London tonight with Monsieur [Jean] Marchand, the painter; he may come to visit before his return to France. Still problems with the water supply at the Shiffolds, so they are having to miss out on baths and fetch water from Tanhurst. Mr and Mrs [Gordon and Emily] Bottomley were here all last week, and Mr [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson is visiting now; can hear his typewriter in the drawing room, and a chaffinch outside.
