Item 184 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Sure Julian, and Humphry, will be better for losing their curls, though this is always a 'sad change'. Caroline has 'left him in charge' of Molly, and Charles, who is enjoying a 'very long weekend, while the Constitution is crashing in London'. Very interested in the score of the opera [Robert and Donald Tovey's "The Bride of Dionysus"?] and book of poems, whenever it comes out; doubts the autumn is a good time for publishing poetry. Wrote a long note on the Montcalm letter in the 8th volume of [Carlyle's] Frederick, but is not sure whether to put it in his book. Is reading [Albert] Vandal's Avènement de Bonaparte, which is 'most admirable'. Sends love to Elizabeth; dreamed recently about the Queen of the Netherlands.
