"My idea was that the 5 full page maps should take the place of the sketch maps that you suggest, or rather, I simply meant that I thought the equivalent of about 5 pages might be devoted to maps..."

"Many thanks for your letter. I must say that I should like the larger type, and am in favour, therefore, of omitting the Chapters of Summary. Not counting the Epilogue there are three of these..."

"I am very sorry not to have written you before about Chapter XXVI on the Coming of Christianity. [...] While I was away Mr. Collins, whom you will remember meeting at Amen House, consulted no less than three advisors, whom we can trust as unprejudiced, about the chapter..."

"[...] I have been reading your chapter again myself, I have studied the options of our three advisors, and I have talked the matter over again with Mr. Collins. Apart from one or two very minor details, the difficulties are concentrated in the beginning of the second sentence..."

"I was delighted to get your letter on the corrected Chapter, which I have now had time to show once more to our Educational Department. We are glad that the matter is now settled to our satisfaction, and, I hope, to yours..."

"We shall begin sending you proofs next Friday."

"I have been wondering whether it would be a good thing to put in two or three pages of excercises, test questions, or the like, at the end of your book?..."

"[...] There will be room in the Preliminaries for a Foreword of not more than one page. Your proposal for a companion Book of Modern Peoples is a most interesting one, and we should certainly be very glad to consider it..."

"Many thanks for your letter. I think, in view of what you say, that we had better keep the Epilogue and drop the idea of exercises."

"[...] I will have a look at the extracts from Rawlinson etc. Unless they are pretty long, I don't think there is any need to do more that acknowledge the source."
