Pièce 33 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Originally enclosing a cutting from the "Manchester Guardian" about the new Stockholm town hall. Just returned from Welcombe; Grandpapa and Grandmama seemed quite well. Wonders how the oak-tree caterpillars will cope with the current heavy rain. Is going North for the Lake Hunt next week; [Julian's cousin] George is coming for the first time; hopes to see the Bottomleys [Gordon and Emily] on the way, unless they have gone to the Hebrides as they thought of doing. Went to see "Romeo and Juliet" last week when he was in London; there was a very good Juliet [Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies]; the Romeo [John Gielgud] was 'at any rate a young man, which he is not always' and was 'moderately good', except that he 'cried and sobbed much too much' when banished; the others were all worse than another, and he left as soon as Juliet had taken her sleeping draught.
