Lowestoft. - Gives information about visiting Goldie [Dickinson] in hospital. Forster has not been since May 'came on the scene' so as not to overtire Goldie with too many visitors. He and Gerald Heard are arranging places for Goldie to convalesce: asks Bessie if she could write without mentioning this letter and offer their house for September. Is in Lowestoft with Ackerley. Goldie's operation was on the 18th; thinks the surgeon's name was Fagg [Charles Herbert Fagge?].

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - 'Awful news about Roger' [Fry: his death]. Was in London until yesterday, and had seen Helen Anrep and Gerald Heard.

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Tried to ring up, but the telephone was out of order. Sorry to hear Bessie's news, especially as he was hoping to see her more often. Asks where she is going: he and Goldie [Dickinson] used to like Lyme Regis; Sidmouth has a new public garden laid out by Dartington Hall; he likes Eastbourne the best of the nearer resorts. Asks if she sent a letter to Gerald Heard at the Buckinghams: B. [Bob] is intrigued. Is enjoying Roger's book [Roger Fry's translations of Mallarme?].

Has just received Elizabeth's letter. Has not seen Morgan [Forster]; asked Ackerley, who does, if he could, and to let him know when he could visit. Has not heard anything, so expects Ackerley felt 'any visitors save a very few would be exhausting'. Gives Ackerley's address at the BBC so she can write and ask him to ask Morgan what Miss [Margaret?] Dickinson should be told. Thanks her for giving him the 'latest news': he was 'out of date', not having seen Ackerley for three days.
