Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Forster's plans are disturbed as his aunt has not been well enough to have him and his mother to stay. Would like to come and see Trevelyan. Has just been to stay with E. H. Young near Marlborough and then walked to the White Horse, Wantage, and Goring along the Icknield Way. Sidgwick and Jackson are interested in publishing his short stories; they suggest illustrations, which he does not want; he would though be happy with illustrated end-papers and asks if Fry likes his stories enough to design these. Sidgwick and Jackson's letters originally enclosed: 'Hellfellows' is 'an awful work of Housman's' ["All-fellows: Seven Legends of Lower Redemption," by Laurence Housman] which the publishers wanted Forster's work to resemble. 'Marguerite was well rid of Mat' [Matthew Arnold]. Does not think Stokoe's idea to take a BA degree and teach a good one.

Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Wishes he could come, but his grandmother is visiting. Has not written recently as Trevelyan's last letter seemed so just Forster had little to say in response. Has been lecturing in Cornwall and Devon. Asks if he might see Forster when he is at West Hackhurst next month. Wonders if he has 'discovered' a poet named [Frank Woodyer] Stokoe [his predecessor as tutor to the von Armin children]; has sent something of his to the "Independent".

Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Asks Trevelyan for recommendations of places in the Lake District where he and his mother could stay: 'not very remote - a little touristy'. Putnam's have taken 'the little story'. Has been looking at the 'Lucy' novel ["A Room With A View"] and is unsure about it, and how to finish it. Dined at [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson's yesterday, and saw [Charles?] Masterman. Enjoyed his time in the New Forest. Note on the back of the envelope records that he is going to see "The Passive Resister" by Elizabeth Robins at Bradfield, and gives the cast of characters.

Harnham, Monument Green, Weybridge. - Is being given the 'N.Q.' [New Quarterly], and finds it splendid. An essay on Poggio [Bracciolini], which MacCarthy encouraged him to send to the United States, has been rejected. Is going to Founder's Feast soon. Thanks Trevelyan about Stokoe, who must have moved. Lady Holroyd (who knows Trevelyan] has called, as has Mrs Barnes. Sends love to [Trevelyan's son] Paul.
