Item 215 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Recommends that Robert read Elizabeth Gaskell's "Sylvia's Lovers". Robert has had some interesting guests; glad to hear what he says about 'Eurasians in Java'. Was glad to subscribe to the 'Apostles' portrait', though does not know where it is to be kept; 'a Richmond is always worth having'; imagine what the value of 'an authentic portrait by St Luke of St Peter or St Paul' would be'. The haymaking is going well, but after that they 'sorely want all the rain [they] can get'.
