Item 180 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Delightful to meet Bessy by chance in the London Library; good that she can mend Julian's toys 'αυτόχειρ' [by her own hand]'; has just been reading about 'Frau Bucholz's attempts at domestic art-workmanship' [in a book by Julius Stinde]. Agrees with Robert about 'the Bernard Shaw in old days. The artist is always good. The egotist always detestable'. Thinks he heard that Shaw 'disapproved of Well's recent goings on'; as George says, it is bringing 'old literary scandals... home.. and you see what they really are.' Very interesting about Verrall and the Professorship [the new English professorship at Cambridge].
