Unidad documental simple 31 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Originally enclosing some stamps; Julian is not likely to have the old Italian ones already. Visited 'the bower' yesterday, and thinks 'the troglodites must have ventured back' [see 15/27], since some 'green fir-shoots' have been put inside, perhaps as a mattress, and there is some orange peel lying around. Glad it is now warm enough for Julian to bathe; he will soon learn to swim. The limerick was by Mr [Gordon] Bottomley, not [Donald] Tovey; they thought he would recognise the handwriting. Is coming to stay with the Moores soon, with Elizabeth, who will have told Julian about the 'various birds nests'; thinks there must be some young owls in the trees at the back. Mr [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson is visiting; he types in Julian's room; he will probably want to play chess after lunch.
