Scope and content

West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Trevelyan's present is very generous: would not have been able to afford a seat at that price [to see Mussorgsky's "Boris Gudunov" at the Lyceum, see 3/52]; is pleased he will be sitting next to K.C. [Kenneth Cross] Has been to see [Verdi's] "La Forza del Destino", which he does not think Trevelyan could have stood, and is going to meet the prima donna [Rosa Ponselle] at Bumpus [Bookshop]. Wishes Trevelyan were coming to the [Apostles'] Dinner. Trevelyan's title still not vulgar enough' for Forster's taste: he offers some suggestions. His mother much enjoyed "A High Wind" [Richard Hughes, "A High Wind in Jamaica"].
