T. E. Lawrence to Edward Garnett

16.IX.24.

[30 lines omitted]

Hudson gone.

Conrad gone.

Hardy very old: G. Moore gaga; D.H.L. ditto; whom have we to welcome year by year?

(Not Aldous Huxley, not a Sitwell, not J. Joyce, not Wyndham Lewis: somebody lovable).

E.M. Forster: very good; but is he quite great? I like him, but a little shamefacedly.
