Item 262 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks Robert for [Herbert Macartney] Beatty's letter; the last letter of this 'extraordinary correspondence' appears in yesterday's "[Times] Literary Supplement" [January 18, 1917; pg. 34; Issue 783], and he asks Robert to cut this out and send it; [John] Timbs must have been 'an awful impostor', and Sir George has never heard of him before. Thinks the long first article on Keats will interest Robert. Praises the "Supplement". Wrote to [A. C.] Fifield to ask when Sam Butler's "Memoirs" were coming out as he is 'getting old, and anxious to see them'; Fifield wrote a nice letter back, telling him 'the reason why they cannot appear yet'.
