"Dear Mrs. Langley Moore, Were it possible for me to help you in your task of writing a biography of "E. Nesbit", I wanted to be ready, and glad, to do my utmost..."
Gerald Howe Ltd. to Doris Langley Moore, 1933-02-08
"Dear Mrs Moore I have just succeeded in [reading?] the copy of "Jesus in London." It is rather dilapidated but better than nothing I am very glad for you to have it as an addition to your Nesbits (I see that is an unavoidable pun). Many thanks for your letter of the 1st..."

Gould, Gerald to Doris Langley Moore, 1932-06-03
"Dear Mrs. Langley Moore, Very many thanks for your letter. You cannot think how much flattered I am at being called a classical scholar! I am afraid I was never in any real sense that, and have not kept up what little I knew. I envy you that you can keep it up!..."

"Dear Mrs. Langley Moore, Very many thanks for your letter.
