A lovely selection of letters addressed to Forster's friend and correspondent Hazel Mary Eardley-Wilmot (1910-98), who was a Senior English Mistress at the High School, Bath, from 1935, and from 1941 worked for the British Council. She and Forster ran in similar circles – 'it is very vexatious about John Lehmann, there must be alternatives – I must think (1945)', helped her in her educational work with Czechs, discussed business goings on ('I meant to write – oh this meanting! To say that Wendell Road cache is mine and is supplied from another in the U.S.A…') and retained a thirty-year friendship ('I keep fairly well and hope that the sun occasionally shines from your hilltops').

c. 12pp.; folds and spots, on various letterheads from Reform Club, Kings College, Cambridge, Kettering, Coventry, 12 December 1942- 28th December 1962 (the majority 1940s, a few undated); together with some envelopes and a Christmas card from Forster at Cambridge.
