Forrest Reid : The Bracknels
E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 31 January 1912: 'I have read The Bracknels, and wish to thank you for it [...] it does help one to distinguish between the superficial and the real, and to some minds there is something exhilarating in this [...] The book has moved me a good deal'.

Forrest Reid : Following Darkness
E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 13 December 1912: 'I have read Following Darkness again, and am happier than I can tell you to be connected with it [as dedicatee]. Initials [in dedication] are of no importance -- it is the knowledge that I have helped in it. Besides, your books have a knack of opening in my hands when daily life has gone wrong [goes on to comment further on text]'.

Forrest Reid : Following Darkness
E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 2 February 1913: 'I sent F[ollowing].D[arkness]. to a woman of another kind [i.e. than Alice Meynell, possibly reviewer of book in the Times Literary Supplement] and have just heard "I am still haunted by it -- it has interested me very much -- it is extraordinarily intimate and has a certain distinction and beauty that attract me [...] together with a certain brutal reality. My impressions are complex and I don't express them well. I do think it quite extraordinarily good."'

Forrest Reid : unidentified 'sketch'
E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 5 October 1913: 'It's a good little sketch I think, and shows you can do a catastrophe if you choose. I never guessed he had murdered his wife, but my mother did. I have kept it longer than I ought, and not for any reason. The second time I read it, I enjoyed it more.'

Forrest Reid : 'Kenneth'
E. M. Forster to Forrest Reid, 10 January 1919: 'Some of your stories I have read before, but I am enjoying and admiring them all. "Kenneth" made me laugh so nicely. The "Trial of Witches" [...] seemed to me a most powerful [reminder] of the past.'
