Item 277 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Glad to have 'so cheerful and hopeful an account of Julian' [from school]; sure Robert and Elizabeth will be most interested. They have much enjoyed a six day visit from Iris [Abel Smith] who has been working for three years as a nurse at the convalescent hospital set up by Meta [Abel Smith] at her house, Goldings; she is a charming good girl 'with her grandmother [Sir George's sister Margaret]'s height and beautiful, expressive eyes', and reminded him very much of Margaret 'as an unmarried pet of her uncle [Macaulay?], which was the way to [his own] heart'. Has instructed Drummond's to pay fifty pounds into Robert's account as usual. Some 'very hopeful and at all events resigned' news about Geoffrey [Winthrop Young] and [?] Sessions; does not know if the latter is a friend of Roberts.
