Pièce 237 - Letter from R. C. Trevelyan to Sir George Trevelyan

1 doc

The Shiffolds, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking. - Sees there is something in his father's last letter [12/276], which he 'ought to have answered at once', about his National Liberal Club subscription. Spoke to the Secretary last winter, and agreed that in future Robert would be a 'country member'; the subscription is therefore three guineas, not six. His 'domicile is in the country', and he is 'very little in town' so it was 'quite unnecessary' for him to have been a town member recently.

There is a delay with the publication of his translation, Lucretius on Death, but hopes to send it in two or three weeks. The weather is 'as bad, if not worse, than ever'; they are however all well.

Adds a postscript saying that they are reading Wells' Mr Polly; likes it 'almost as well as Kipps, which it somewhat resembles'.
