Unidad documental simple 227 - Letter from Roger Fry to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item.

Durbins, Guildford. - D. F. T. [Donald Francis Tovey] visited yesterday; they had a 'delightful time'. He approved of Fry's piano and played all sorts of things on it. He seemed 'quite to realize how serious the situation was & how necessary it was that he should manage some of his own affairs'. Does not know if Tovey has 'the strength to hold out against her wiles' [a reference to Sophie Weisse], but he does realise 'she is capable of spoiling all his relations'. Hopes it will do good: Tovey 'is so nice'. Does not know when he will be able to get over; has to spend some time with [his wife] Helen this week, and is behindhand with things at Durbins.
