Stuk 363 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Sorry that Julian missed his trip to London. Bessy will miss her niece [Emma? see 11/79] whom Aunt Annie has told them much about; very pleasant to have her news from the Shiffolds. Annie liked Forster; Sir George wishes he were writing more novels. More or less agrees with Robert about "Mansfield Park"; the 'last generation' of their family used to call it Austen's best; discusses its strengths and weaknesses. The new Oxford edition has finally adopted Macaulay's emendation to the first page of "Persuasion".
