Pièce 28 - Letter from E. M. Forster to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Dewas, C. I. - Thanks Trevelyan for the letter and book, and for the information about Benares: he plans to go their shortly, leaving Hyderabad to the end if at all and missing out Southern India. Goodall will be in Calcutta from 7th January: would like to see Trevelyan and Dickinson and has their address. Indore 'pleasant but not striking'; the Luards very kind. Dewas is charming; the Raja, whom Forster met briefly at Indore, returns this evening and is 'a dear and a competent dear'. Luard thinks the colours in Forster's Jeypore landscape are all preliminary, which is disappointing, and that both pictures are 19th century at the earliest.
