Pièce 335 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Very interesting, but 'very sad and depressing' about [Maurice?] Amos [the failure of treaty negotiations between Egypt and the UK?]; had heard from George along the same lines. Looking forward very much to seeing Elizabeth this evening. Trouble at Sidcot [School] with diphtheria, so George and Kitty are back early for their Christmas holidays, but Charles and Mary are making the best of it. Is reading [Euripides's] "Phoenissae", which he calls a 'noble play' and places 'with the "Orestes" and "Alcestis" after the "Medea" and "Bacchae".
