Stuk 80 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Originally enclosing a 'rag of a News-sheet, which has been practically edited by C.A. [Clifford Allen] for the P.M. [Ramsay MacDonald] under very difficult circumstances'; for example, he 'could not get the P.M. to improve his obscure and somewhat crude article'. It may be a 'beginning of something valuable'; it is mainly 'addressed to Labour people'. Bessie is writing to [Maria] Germanova and hopes she can come over with Andreyusha [Kalitinski, Germanova's son]; unfortunately he will have to be in Edinburgh from about 18 March until the end of the month; everything is going well there at present [re the production of his and Donald Tovey's opera the "Bride of Dionysus"] as far as he knows. Francis Birrell has asked for Julian's address, as a young cousin of his is studying at the Sorbonne and thinks it would be good if they could meet. Julian's picture is now hung up in the library, and looks good there. Asks if Julian has borrowed a 'small "Tristan Shandy" and "[The Brothers] Karamazov". Will send his own new book ["Rimeless Numbers"] soon.
