A propos de cet article

Reynolds Was A British Pacifist, Who Worked With Gandhi In The 1920'S, And Later Was Secretary Of The No More War Movement. Two Page Handwritten Letter, 54 Lines, Condensed Onto A Sixpence Air Letter. Following Up On A Letter Sent A Week Earlier, Now Thanking The Recipient For A Book On Liberia. He Notes That Gilbert Highet, Mentioned In The Recipient's Earlier Letter, Had Been Saying Nice Things About Reynolds On The Radio. "I Strongly Approve Of This & Hope It Will Be Encouraged. I Have A Feeling I Shall Be Over In The States If This Goes On. Yesterday I Received A Copy Of The Griffin (Reader's Subscriptions, Inc.) With An Article By Jacques Barzun (No Less) On E. M. Forster's Hill Of Devi. He Said 'With Mr. Reginald Reynolds' A Quest For Gandhi, Which Is Its Perfect Autobiographical Counterpart, The Hill Of Devi Is The Best Introduction To The Physical And Emotional Realities Of Modern India". This Has Completely Gone To My Head. The Snooty Pederasts Of Horizon And The New Statesman Never Paid Me Such Compliments. Nobody Here Compares My Modern Workto The Great And Monumental Achievements Of Mr. Forster. I Think I Must Go To America Soon, The Land Where They Don't Expect Me To Lick Some Old Queen's Arse Before You Can Get A Decent Write-Up. But, Does Somebody I Know - You, For Example-Happen To Know Jacques Barzun? Because He Posted The Thing To Me Himself To Oak Cottage, Which Is Even Odder Than Sending It Here To Chelsea." He Then Discusses His Wife Edith Mannin's Recent Diet "And Much Better For It", And Is Worried About What She Will Eat When She Travels To Burma To Stay With U- [Indecipherable] As He Is Sure They Will Cook All Their Food In Ghee And Then Fry It Too. Then, "I Must Cultivate Some More Forsterian Habits, But Draw The Line At One; For He Is "Called' As We Say In Chelsea- Called To The Higher Faith, Greater Than The Love Of Women, Which No Doubt Helped In His Career This Side Of The Atlantic." He Then Closes With Sending His Love To The Recipient ["To You Both"], Inquiries What The Recipient Is Doing, And Asks When They Will See Them Again. In 1964 His Wife Traveled Through The United States, Meeting Austin In California, Staying With Him And Traveling In California With Him. She Wrote A Book About The Trip, "An American Journey" [Hutchison, 1967], Which She Dedicated "For Rickey With Whom I Made Some Of These Travels, And To Whom I Owe So Much - In Enduring Friendship".…
