Barron, Oswald to Doris Langley Moore, 1931-06-30
"Dear Mrs. Moore, If I had not been away in the country I would surely have answered your letter. Indeed I do now know any useful word for you about Mrs. Bland's first reason for writing children's tales. Why do I write for grown-ups? Because that has been my fashion of getting my honest living..."

"Dear Mrs. Moore It was very good of you to have bothered to write me such a detailed letter in reply to mine as I feel rather cross with myself for having given you so much trouble at a time when I'm sure you long to be left in peace.

Bland, John to Doris Langley Moore, 1932-11-16
