Scope and content
Thanks Trevelyan for his ‘kind note from Madras’; is sorry he could not reply earlier as he was busy finishing a picture. He and his brother will be ‘delighted’ to meet E. M. Forster when he visits Calcutta; Tagore will be back in another week so he hopes to be able to meet him.
Has read ‘Masefield’s Poem’, which he does not ‘on the whole… much care for… but there are some very fine passages in the book’. Is now ‘absorbed in Dostoevsky’, which he finds ‘extremely interesting and beautiful. You rarely come across a book like this’ and he is ‘very thankful’ to Trevelyan for recommending it. Would much like to know if any more of Dostoevsky’s work has been translated into English. Will write to his uncle ‘Mr Rabindra’ about the book; is sure he would like it.
Asks if Trevelyan has been able to hear any good music in Madras. Asks to be remembered to Mr Dickinson.
