Description
FORSTER E. M.: (1879-1970) English Novelist of A Room with a View (1908) and A Passage to India (1924). A.L.S., E M Forster, two pages, oblong 8vo, Bombay, India, 14th December 1945, to Creagh Coen. Forster exclaims 'It is maddening' and continues 'If ''contacts'' had been a little earlier I could have joined you. But I had just fixed up to go to Delhi, and had told friends at Calcutta to come and meet me there if they wanted to. So I shan't be with you….I am much disappointed, and think it very good of you to have taken so much trouble about me'. Forster also mentions several mutual friends and acquaintances, one of whom Forster met the previous evening 'at a cinematogenic drinking party'. A series of paperclip rust stains appear to the head of each page, only very slightly affecting the date but not Forster's text or signature, otherwise VG Forster's correspondent is likely to have been Terence Creagh Coen, author of The Indian Political Service: A Study in Indirect Rule.
