Item 47 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Very glad that Julian is pleased with his rooms [at Trinity College, Cambridge] and that all is going well; he will have to solve his 'tripos problem' himself; sure he will do the best thing; much to be said for E[nglish] Lit[erature] if he has doubts about the M[oral] Sc[ience]; on the other hand he may become very interested in philosophy and psychology, though not as easily or quickly, and learn things which he 'would not be likely to get at any other way'. The main thing is that whatever Julian does, it should be something he can 'throw [himself] into fairly heartily', and can withstand the many 'distractions at Cambridge'. Asks him to send a programme for the Festival Th[eatre] "Heartbreak House" performance. He and Elizabeth are going in 'Matthew's motor' to Welcome on Saturday, to meet Pat Abercrombie, C[lough] Williams Ellis, and [Gabriel] Toyne the prospective Prometheus [he did in fact play the role in the Cambridge Festival Theatre's production of Robert's translation]'. Matthews would like to be their chauffeur, at an hourly rate rather than a salary; they have not yet decided what kind of car they will get, or whether to build this winter or postpone until next autumn.
