Item 178 - Letter from E. M. Forster to Elizabeth Trevelyan

19 Manchester Street, W. - Thanks the Trevelyans for their letters. Has disappointing news: his tests are bad and MacD. [Sydney Macdonald] does not want to operate for at least a month; he will therefore return to West Hackhurst soon, and will need some supervision from a local doctor. If just for this month, he thinks 'fat Davidson from Shere' will do, but would be glad to hear of anyone in Dorking who may be better: asks who attended Bob. McComas, whom his aunt Laura saw, charged a guinea a visit. His mother will probably visit, and Bob Buckingham drive him down. Is writing to most people in pencil to let them know how ill he is.
