Philips, Iris to Doris Langley Moore, 1927-06-09
"Dear Mrs Moore, Very many thanks indeed for the book of poems - I gather that I should have received it days ago, but owing to feeble [mindedness?] in our local post man, it got delivered to another Philips just along the road..."

"Dear Mrs Moore In reply to your letter to Paul on 28th May - 1. I can't remember why my father became a Catholic - I should say about 1900 - I believe my mother was [?] some years later - she abandoned the Catholic Church during the war because she considered that the Pope should have put his foot down [heavily?] in protest against it!..."

"Dear Mrs Moore - I've sent the city pictures to my sister, wh ois staying with Skipper - I have nothing better myself - I enclose a portrait of my father, which I should like back as it is the best I have..."

"Dear Mrs. Moore, Very many thanks for sending me a copy of your book - I have read it right through again and am still delighted with it. It is quite wonderful that you have made such a life like portrait of a woman whom you have never met..."
Philips, Iris to Doris Langley Moore, 27th May [possibly 28th?]
"Dear Mrs Moore, About the tale of the [?] copied from my exercise book. If they were dated June 1902, they were certainly written then. It was my mother[sic] habit to write her serial chapters at the last possible moment. The chapter mentioned may possibly have been for the sequol[sic] to the Five Children and It or "Psammead"..."

Philips, Iris to Doris Langley Moore, Sunday
"Dear Mrs Moore, I had your letter. I didn't realize that it was so long ago! My life is very full of young cousins - also my house. They will probably be here during the whole of April, so I fear I shall not be able to take the German girl. Thank you for writing to me about her..."
Philips, Iris to Doris Langley Moore, between 10am and 5pm
"Dear Madam, Thank you for your letter. Naturally I am very much interested to know that you are to write a biography of my mother "E. Nesbit." As I have to work for a living, I fear I cannot come to see you, but I shall be very glad if you can come to see me either at Paddinton Street or at [Gordus?] Green..."
Philips, Iris to Doris Langley Moore, before 20th June
"Dear Mrs Moore, I'm sorry I couldn't answer by [?] of post, I, too, am working 15 hours a day! Mother's attitude towards the Pope was that was was nothing to her with the church - may be inevitable, but in any case the church should have protested, specially against the invasion of Belgium - and the Church should have taken no part at all, if it could not stop it..."

"Dear Mrs Moore, I have read the book, I think it very good on the whole - whether it will be of so much interest to outsiders as it was to me is difficult to say - I think you have managed the unfortunate incidents and dates with much tact!..."
