Item 88 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Julian Trevelyan

1 item

Originally enclosing another letter to Julian. The [Adolf] Busch-[Rudolf] Serkin visit was 'a great success'; his German was 'not up to the occasion' but that did not matter. Thinks they are going to Paris in November or December, but Elizabeth will send concert dates. Had meant to write to Betty Chetwynd and get her to go, but saw in the evening papers that her brother Philip has 'killed himself in a tube station' so she will probably be too upset. Did not know Philip as well as her other brother [Wentworth]. Will probably not go to Italy until January. So Julian has now met Cyril Connolly: he is 'a queer fish, very intelligent but very lazy'; always got on well with him, but has never been an intimate friend.
