Item 241 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Glad that Elizabeth is recovering, and that Julian may have his trouble [an umbilical hernia] resolved in a well planned way. Heard today from Ella Pease that [Robert] Carr Bosanquet, who had considered joining George [in his Red Cross ambulance brigade] has wisely decided that his Greek language abilities mean that he is better suited to other work, and will take money collected to assist the Serbians. It is 'hell for people to consider carefully how they can be of best assistance at this awful time'. Since Christmas fell on a Saturday, there will be a 'real solid holiday, from Friday night till Tuesday morning, which people will sorely need'.
