Part of Papers of Robert Calverley Trevelyan and Elizabeth Trevelyan
Sends money towards the books with which Trevelyan is providing him. Is writing two articles, one on Philo's embassy to Caligula ["A Little Trip"] and one on army English; is also working on a lecture on ancient Alexandrian philosophy for the Theosophical Society. Discusses the war, bitterness, propaganda and Sassoon's poetry. Would like to know how Trevelyan is, as he has not heard from Dickinson; thanks him for his poem on Confucius. Sends a dramatic sketch involving Pericles [Anastastiades], Sir Bartle [Frere], Cavaffy and Terni; this is incomplete. Forster signs off at the top of the first page, adding that he 'liked Lytton ["Eminent Victorians"?] and Desmond [MacCarthy?] awfully'.
