Jackson, Laura (Riding), 1901-1991

Scope and Contents "Certain developments in Mr. Mason's field of bibliographical interests and activities were only very recently made known to me by him, and these profoundly affect my feelings. This has nothing to do with the personal relations between Mr. Mason and myself. I had informed him that the new knowledge of these involvements raised for me very serious questions as to my feelings about his and my co-operating on an article for you..." "I am opposed to any going thhus to my former...

"It is good to have your point of view, as to how the neglect of cross-reference between two entries may have come about. There has been so much suppression and disregard of myself and my work, and distortion of literary and bibliographical actualities in connection, that mere inadvertence is not the first cause that springs to mind, with me, when I come upon such a thing as that on which I wrote in my letter to Professor Misenheimer."

"What you have written as to the two crticial collaborations is of course satisfactory. I am sure you will, in all cataloguing of these two, observe the order of authorship - which has been blatantly misrepresented in many quarters critical and biliographical."

"I am communicating to Mr. Clark exactly what you wrote there as to the bibliography - I wrote of the Chelsea issue with regret of my not offering to provide you with a copy."

"I have thought, coming upon this listing made by Mr. Mason, and sent to me about a year ago, that it would interest you to have it. I have written a little on it..."

"It is quite long since Mr. Woolmer proposed to me the idea of a limited edition of that manuscript material. Publication was scheduled for for The Sping. November was suggested as I remember, as a delivery date of my introduction. 25000 words was given me by how as, roughly, the size of introduction he thought could be commercialy handled for that size of book. I had counted pages, and lines (I mean, indicated about how many lines there were for a page)."

"Mr. Graves and I used an old proof press purchased second-hand. Our type we procured from Monotype of London, using a Caslon punt exclusively; our paper was exclusiely Batchelor's hand..."

"...I am attributing this to a common effect where the shadow of Mr. Graves' work falls over writers' pages. So much perversion of actualities relating to myself, and suppression of fact concerning Mr. Graves' work in relation to mine, and to myself, have been achieved that it is indeed remarkable that any instinct of truth survives, in my regard."
