"My dear Doris Langley Moore, I have been reading absorbedly the book. As you can imagine, it is of the deepest interest to me, both as her friend and as a workwoman myself. I think it is quite wonderful how you have managed to give a very vivid picture in spite of (a) your never having met her personally.

"Dear Mrs. Langley-Moore, In reply to your postcard, I think Crez must have been late in May. Anyhow I know we bathe and that the fields were all golden with buttercups. This last detail is completely definite. I don't know what Arthur can be talking about when he says it was August!?..."

"My dear Mrs. Langley Moore, Herewith the E. Nesbit letters which I promised you. There do not seem to be as many as I thought, but I hope what there are will be of use. There was one of hers which I cut, in order to put up on my screen of letters about my work, which said "You always have such nice things to eat in your novels. It was a comfort to me, when subsisting on glasses of Cowlicks' Malted Horse, to read about the beautiful lunch given by Lady Day to Captain Rhos" (in my novel "Sir...
