Item 168 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Is 'thankful in every way' to have the telegram [with the news of the safe arrival of Julian Trevelyan]; not least for Caroline's relief. Charles was born while [Hugh?] Childers was at dinner at Ennismore Gardens: 'like a Royal Prince with a Cabinet Minister in attendance'; supposes Charles himself played Childers' part this time; hopes this will be a good omen. Is still a little unwell three weeks on, but he is much better and can work a little. Adds a postscript saying how pleased he was about [Robert's election to] the Athenaeum; necessary to be a 'very old hand there' to realise what a 'remarkable demonstration' it was; very much wants to see Robert's card.
