Scope and content
From GOT to his wife Caroline, except 2, 11 and 15; 2 is addressed to Trebelyan (sic) and congratulates him on a contest in an agricultaral constituency (the name is unclear). It mentions Gladstone and is signed C. Louis Buxton, a liberal MP, colleague of GOT. 11 is a tiny newspaper cutting, titled "The Theft of Sir George Trevelyan's Watch", referring that two men arrested for the theft were liberated because there was no evidence against them. GOT noted "This is a good thing" on it. 15 is addressed to Caroline by her sister Anna M. Philips. Letters 4 to 18 (11 and 15 excepted) have been written in Glasgow, between 29.07 and early August (16-17 belong to one letter and are not dated). They might have been sent all at once around 05.08, as stated in 19. 4 mentions four long orations delivered on 28.07; 5-6 complain about a "mostly tremendous meeting " in St. Andrew's Hall, and mentions the Franchise demonstration of 1884. GOT's watch got stolen in this occasion, as he refers in 5.
