Unidad documental simple 26 - Letter from E. M. Forster to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Suggestions and arrangements for their passage to Egypt on the way to India: asks if Trevelyan can take his pith helmet on board, recommends that he buys one for himself in Port Said; offers to buy a deck chair for Trevelyan when he gets his own and have them delivered to the ship; tells him to find the head steward on board and arrange for them to sit together for meals. Advises him to go to St Mary's Hospital, Praed Street to be inoculated by Captain Hayden, and to have them done in the arm rather than the stomach. No tropical specialists in London at the moment, though Charles returns at the end of the month; Sir Arthur Branfoot saw him at the India Office as friend of a friend. List of recommended items to pack.
