Item 209 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Very sorry about Julian's illness; Caroline will be glad to hear from Elizabeth tomorrow. Glad Robert is seeing some plays. Enjoying a visit from George; he has been interesting about the '[Sunday?] Tramps', so they appreciate Robert joining them; George agrees with him that Robert's "Parsifal" ["The New Parsival"] is 'charmingly poetical below the surface' and sometimes above it. Sir George surprised he did not 'catch' [Well's] "The New Machiavelli", as it is "pure Aristophanes'. Despite being so 'ill and pulled down', he is working almost more pleasurably than ever before, only has 'three more paragraphs to write'.
