Item 315 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Sir George Trevelyan

1 doc

Hawse End, Keswick. - Was glad to hear that his parents had a 'good journey' to Wallington; was at the Park this morning when Aunt Annie received a letter from his mother. Expects his mother will be tired but soon recover. Aunt Annie seemed 'very well and in good spirits'; the garden looked 'at its best, and the azaleas and rhododendrons were very fine'. Has come here to stay a night at Mrs Marshall's; early tomorrow morning he will set out to walk to Seatoller, where he hopes to find, George, 'George the Younger', and maybe Charles. The weather is fine and he hopes will remain so; it has not rained for some days so perhaps the 'hills will not be too boggy'. There had been a land-slide at the railway near Shap which 'partly blocked the track' and delayed his train half an hour.
