Moore, Doris Langley, 1902-1989

"Dear Madam, The Solicitors for the Administrator of the Estate of the late Oscar Wilde would be obliged, should you decide to reprint the Oscar Wilde letter, if you would kindly print the enclosed acknowledgment for the permission granted in the Biography of the late E. Nesbit..."

"Dear Madam, Thank you for your letter of the 5th December, from which we understand the late E. Nesbit's Executor is willing that the Oscar Wilde Administrators should use the letter of which you sent us a copy, in the volume of hitherto unpublished letters which it is proposed to include in Messrs. Methuen [ampersand] Co.'s Collected Edition of the Oscar Wilde works..."

"Dear Madam, Thank you for your letter of the 3rd December. We will write to the Solicitors for the Administrator of the late Oscar Wilde as soon as you are able to inform us of the answer you receive from Mrs. Bland's Executor. The present owner of the original letter from Wilde to Mrs. Bland would not be able to restrain the publication of the letter from a copy in the possession of Mrs. Bland's Executor..."

Second letter is from Parker Garrett [ampersand] Co. to the Secretary of the Society of Authors, to be passed along to Doris Langley Moore. Content concerns Oscar Wilde and permission to publish a letter.

"Dear Madam, I am directed by the Secretary to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th instant and in reply to state that where you are unable to trace the Executors of the authors of letters which you desire to include in your book it will probably be best for you to communicate with the publishers of the works of the authors in question who will no doubt be able to give you the necessary information..."

"Dear Madam, We are obliged by your letter dated the 24th November, together with copy of one letter from the late Oscar Wilde addressed to Mrs. Bland, and the copies of the two letters from the late Wm. de Morgan, one addressed to E. Nesbit Esq, and the other addressed to Mrs. Bland..."

"Dear Madam, In reply to your letter of the 9th instant, Mrs. Bland-Tucker was a member of the Society from the year 1897 until the time of her death in 1924 and, I understand, constantly consulted the Society and obtained its advice and assistance in connexion with the marketing and protection of her literary work..."

"Many thanks for your most helpful letter."

"Dear Madam, I am told that you might be able to advise me whom I should approach for permission to make use of a story by Mrs. E. Nesbitt[sic]..."
