Stuk 69 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Has received Paul's present of 'muisjes' [sugared aniseeds given in the Netherlands after the birth of a baby] from Elizabeth and Robert; Caroline has told him about them; Booa [Mary Prestwich] was 'immensely pleased with hers'. They are now settled down; thinks he and Booa want some 'rest and quiet'. The hounds came yesterday, which is very different in Warwickshire from in Northumberland as it is 'one of the famous "Shires"'; the hunt 'made a gallant show in the amphitheatre of the home park'. Would be 'bad hunting' at the Shiffolds, but he would still enjoy it.
