Unidad documental simple 278 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Very good to hear that Julian is 'so much at home in his school'; watching [his grandsons] George and Humphry and remembering his time at school in Hertfordshire makes him see 'a well ordered school is for good inn a way that nothing else supplies'. They expect George and family next week. Very interested in Robert's account of the 'Munitions fire'. The young men from the front must be shown 'very real consideration', such as that in the matter of leave shown towards the two Henderson [possibly Herdsman ?] brothers, one of whom used to work in the Wallington gardens but has now emigrated to Canada, who are serving on different sectors of the front. Is reading in the fourth book of Livy about the first military pay for the Romans. Thanks Robert for his translation from Lucretius, a 'noble looking "brochure"'; expects he has chosen the 'right verse' form. Must read the original again.
