Pièce 41 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to Paul François Hubrecht

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - He and his wife are quite satisfied with what Hubrecht proposes: understands that Elizabeth will manage her own property and pay 'three hundred pounds annually to sustaining the household'. Enclosing a 'rough, but substantially accurate, description of the Equitable [Mutual Insurance Society]' in his own hand, outlining the way it functions and the favourable opinion held of it by Sir Robert Hamilton 'the ablest English public servant of our day'; says he has insured all three of hims sons, and himself, for ten thousand pounds each, paying Robert's premium as a lump sum in 1882; has written to the Actuary for a printed account which he will send on. Will now inform their relatives of the forthcoming marriage.
