Item 286 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Glad to hear about the Slingsbys [the family of Geoffrey Winthrop Young's wife to be, Eleanor]; true there is an age difference 'but Geoffrey is ever young' and he is sure the marriage will go well. Plenty of marriages which go wrong in Arnold Bennett's early books, which he has been reading or re-reading; all 'very carefully constructed... fresh, and vigorously thought out'. Sees there are two more he has not read, "Leonora" and "The Glimpse" and wonders if they are good. Asquith has just sent Sir George his book; cannot remember if he sent Robert Asquith's letters, and does so now; he has 'caught Macaulay [?]tripping'.
