My dear Dove,

IScripps College, ClaremontTSE on whether or not to accept post;a7 am resigning myself to hearing from you, perhaps tomorrow – no, Wednesday – the day after or Friday, that you have decided to go to Scripps College. So far as that goes towards relieving your financial difficulties, and giving you an environment in some ways perhaps more congenial than Boston, I shall be glad; on the other hand it seems painfully like going into a nunnery, so far as limitation of social intercourse is concerned. If you are going, I hope you will give me [a] much fuller an account of the place and the people and the pupils and the work than you have done, please. Where is it, and how near to where? Youtravels, trips and plansTSE's 1933 westward tour to Scripps;a8proposed to EH;a1 see, I suppose you will have left Boston, if you go, before I arrive, which should be about the third week in September, and I wonder if I might possibly happen to give a lecture somewhere in your vicinity – though California is a very very long way off; and you wouldn’t be returning East until the summer, if at all, after I have sailed. However, though I should like as I say to have more information about the College, I will try not to think – if I can – about whether we are to meet once or not at all. It is very gratifying that they are so anxious to get you.

Perhaps too it may be a good thing for you to have again, for a time, a regular whole time job with regular intervals of leisure. IAmericaBoston, Massachusetts;d1suspected of dissipating EH's energies;a7 have sometimes had the thought that in Boston you were tempted to engage in scattered activities beyond your strength: don’t think I am preaching, I know that I have not enough knowledge to say, I am only asking. So far as these are for supplementing your income, well, one has to do that. But'drugs'activity ('being useful');a1 I know what it is to be tempted to take up one thing or another that presented itself, things in themselves wholly worth while; but to take them up rather as a distraction from emptiness and loneliness and starvation, and perhaps to fill up my time so as to avoid thought, to avoid facing myself and my imperfections with the comforting and seductive feeling of ‘being useful’; whereas I should stick to the things that I do best, and leave the other activities to other people.

The photograph has actually been posted – by letter post – in the hope of saving you trouble. ANDBennett, Dilysthen writes to;a4 I have written to Miss Bennett, a little criticism and some encouragement. ThisDavies, Peter Llewelyn;a1 week I am to lunch with Peter Davies the publisher1 – theBarrie, Sir James Matthew ('J. M.')and the original Peter Pan;a3 original Peter Pan of Barrie – on business; andMassingham, Harold John;a1 have to see a Miss Garten and H. J. Massingham,2 I don’t know what about; onBurns, Tom;a1 ShroveGeorge, Robert Esmonde Gordon ('Robert Sencourt');a8 Tuesday ICattaui, Georges;a4 have Tom Burns (publisher)3 Georges Cattaui and Robert Sencourt to lunch; andForster, Edward Morgan ('E. M')obiter dictum on;a1 on Thursday after Ash Wednesday to lunch E. M. Forster4 on business (haveForster, Edward Morgan ('E. M')Howards End;a3 you ever read any of his novels? ‘HowardsForster, Edward Morgan ('E. M')A Passage to India;a2 End’ or ‘A Passage to India’? they are quite good, I think); andVijayatunga, Jinadasa;a1 mustTagore, Rabindranathsends Ceylonese poet TSE's way;a1 interview also Mr. Vijaya Tunga, Ceylonese Poet,5 introduced by Tagore;6 FridayPlomer, William;a2 lunch with Plomer the South African novelist and Janin, a friend of Curtius. SencourtGeorge, Robert Esmonde Gordon ('Robert Sencourt')creates harmony between the Eliots;a9 has been spending a couple of nights with us, andWood, Charles, 2nd Viscount Halifax;a3 has just left to visit Lord Halifax: itEliots, the T. S.more harmonious for Gordon George's stay;c2 is sad when two people are always more contented to have a third person in their company, but a happy rarity when two such people can find a third person congenial enough to both to fill that role. He is very sweet and sympathetic and tactful, and I hope will come again before he goes abroad.

I suppose one gets used to acting, butactors and actressesTSE on thespian withdrawal symptoms;a2 it has always seemed to me, from my tiny experience, that I should find it too feverishly exciting; even now, it must take a great deal out of you. And then, when the last performance of a particular play has finished, having absorbed one’s attention for weeks, what an empty and ended feeling one always has!

A la plus belle, maints souvenirs de
Tom

1.PeterDavies, Peter Llewelyn Llewelyn Davies (1897–1960) felt plagued for life after being identified by J. M. Barrie as the original of Peter Pan. After dreadful and distinguished war service, for which he was awarded the Military Cross, in 1926 he founded the publishing house Peter Davies Ltd. – he published his cousin Daphne du Maurier’s volume about her renowned grandfather, The Young George du Maurier, letters 1860–1867 (1951). See Andrew Birkin, J. M. Barrie & the Lost Boys (1979); Finding Neverland (film, 2004); John Logan, Peter and Alice (play, 2013).

2.HaroldMassingham, Harold John John Massingham (1888–1952), writer and journalist devoted to rural traditions; his works include Downland Man (1926) and Wold without End (1932).

3.TomBurns, Tom Burns (1906–95), publisher and journalist: see Biographical Register.

4.E. M. ForsterForster, Edward Morgan ('E. M') (1879–1970), novelist and essayist, was educated at King’s College, Cambridge, where he gained a second in the classics tripos (and was elected to the exclusive Conversazione Society, the inner circle of the Apostles). Though intimately associated with the Bloomsbury group in London, where his circle included Edward Marsh, Edward Garnett, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, Lytton Strachey, and Leonard and Virginia Woolf, he derived much from visits to Italy, Greece, Egypt and India – where he worked for a while as private secretary to the Maharaja of Dewas: that experience brought about one of his most acclaimed novels, A Passage to India (1924), which sold around one million copies during his lifetime alone. His other celebrated novels include Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910), and the posthumous Maurice (1971, written 1910–13), a work that addressed his homosexuality. He gave the Clark Lectures at Cambridge in 1927 – in succession to TSE – which were published as Aspects of the Novel (1927). He turned down a knighthood, but in 1953 was appointed a Companion of Honour; and he received the OM in 1969. See further Forster, ‘Mr Eliot and His Difficulties’, Life and Letters, 2: 13 (June 1929), 417–25; P. N. Furbank, E. M. Forster (2 vols, 1977, 1978); Selected Letters of E. M.

6.RabindranathTagore, Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), Bengali poet, author, composer, philosopher, painter; winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1913. See Krishna Dutta and Andrew Robinson, Rabindranath Tagore: The Myriad-Minded Man (1995), 173: ‘One non-enthusiast was T. S. Eliot […] He appears (like Kipling) to have maintained an absolute silence about Tagore, though he did agree in 1951 to write a preface to an anthology of “thoughts for meditation” that included Tagore. One might perhaps have expected Eliot to put Tagore down, as he did Goethe and as Pound would do several times both in private and in print after 1913. He would have reacted against Tagore’s links with American Unitarianism, the religion Eliot had rejected in his own family, and he would have distrusted Tagore’s interpretation of Indian spirituality. But perhaps Eliot was in some way touched by the man (he did attend one of Tagore’s lectures), and decided to hold his peace on Tagore. One of Eliot’s fellow students at Harvard, R. F. Rattray, who looked after Tagore in 1913, implied this in a 1940 letter to Tagore in Shantiniketan: “it may be that it was impressions of you that worked into [Eliot’s] poem The Waste Land: ‘Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!’” Tagore replied: “I am interested to read what you say about Mr T. S. Eliot. Some of his poetry [has] moved me by [its] evocative power and consummate craftsmanship. I have translated … one of his lyrics called ‘The Journey of the Magi’”.’ EVE to Robinson: ‘I never heard TSE mention Tagore, and I can find no correspondence in connection with the latter’s translation of “Journey of the Magi”.’

4.C. L. WoodWood, Charles, 2nd Viscount Halifax, 2nd Viscount Halifax (1839–1934), Anglo-Catholic ecumenist: President of the English Church Union, 1868–1919, 1927–34 – lived at Hickleton Hall, Doncaster, S. Yorkshire, where TSE visited him in Oct. 1927. TSE to his mother, 5 Oct. 1927: ‘He is a very saintly man – he is already over 89 – much older than you – but leads a very busy and active life’ (Letters 3, 736). Lord Halifax wrote on 27 Feb., ‘I have read your pamphlet with the greatest interest, &, if I may say so without the great impertinence, or presumption, think it quite admirable.’ (This letter was evidently not sent to EH.)
