Stuk 27 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

Describes finding, while out composing poetry in his 'quarry', a 'cavern... hollowed out into the side of the glen' [perhaps by Julian?] with a 'sharp spear projecting through a small window' and some 'fragments of paper' on the floor. Says he know Julian is not one of these 'unwashed, ungartered savages', and neither is Robert Henry Elms, who currently has the room which used to be Julian's. He went out for his first walk today, 'in nurse Mabel Godwin's arms', and is 'quite a pretty child'. A shame that Julian has to 'pronounce Latin in the English way' [at school]. Originally enclosing a photograph from the "Manchester Guardian" showing a 'young relative' of Julian's who seems to be 'of a somewhat gluttonous disposition during the banana season'; also a photograph of a print by Utamaro 'who did the print in Mummy's bedroom here'. Went to see "Henry IV Part 1", which he and Julian read together, last week at the Old Vic; the Falstaff was quite good, but Prince Hal 'not up to much'. He and Elizabeth play "three hands of prawn-eye" (a card game) in the evenings now.
