"Mrs Langley Moore Dear Madam I can find no letters of Mrs. Bland's to Mr. Hewlett and there are no references to her in his diary, so I am afraid that I can not be of much help to you. I return the two copies you sent me and shall be glad for you to use them in your book. With regard to the first letter I don't think it could have been written in 1911 as I find Mr. Hewlett was not in London on 24th December that year. I should think it might be 1912..."
