Scope and content
West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Thanks Trevelyan for coming to the churchyard [for Forster's mother's funeral] and Bessie for her letters. His aunt [Rosalie Alford] and Florence [Barger] have alternated spending time with him, and tomorrow he is going away, probably to Clouds Hill, opposite T. E. Lawrence's cottage. Agnes [Dowland] and [Henry] Bone, the Forsters' maid and gardener, have been very kind. Is taking Auden's new poem ["For the Time Being?"] and Huxley's new novel ["Time Must Have A Stop"?] to Dorset, though neither immediately attract him: 'The feeling in modern poetry seems so often the same and so dispirited.'
