Pièce 400 - Letter from Sir George Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - States that in "Domesday Book" 'Treveljan' is listed with a proprietor called Offa; suggests he was an ancestor. He himself begins the 'authentic' family history later; there are twelve Trevelyans succeeding each other, father and eldest son, between the reigns of Henry III and Victoria. The author of the article about the Trevelyans wrote beforehand, but Sir George only told him about places where he could find photograph. Agrees completely with what Robert says about George's book ["History of England"]. He and Caroline very much want Robert to come and stay for a few nights in November; they are 'more or less invalids' but 'very contented' ones.
