Evening Standard to Doris Langley Moore, 1933-05-09
"Dear Madam, I have been trying to trace the owner of the copyright of the stories by the late E. Nesbit. Perhaps you, as the author of her "Life", may be able to help us..."
Everard, Gay Welby and Doris Langley Moore, 1931-12-16 - 1931-12-20
"Dear Madam, In answer to your letter about Mrs Hubert Bland I have none of Mr Hewletts papers here but I shall return to London on 1st Jan and will look if there are letters to him from Mrs Bland. I do not think there are, and I can not remember when he first met her but it must have been about the time that she was making the toy villages and houses for children..."
Everard, Gay Welby to Doris Langley Moore, 1932-01-15
"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..."
