Scope and Contents
"Dearest Dame Rebecca: Since writing to you two days ago I came across several details which might both interest and amuse you. To start with: you were the first woman to be elected in 1967 Vice-President of the Library. For almost a century the L.L. was by and large a men's club. At the death of Meredith in 1909, Lord Haldane was elected Vice-President and towards the end of the Committee meeting a suffragette rose and shouted: 'Mr Haldane, when are you going to carry out the wishes of Mr...

"Dear Madam, At the time my old friend S.J. wrote the enclosed letter of introduction I learned from Alan Pryce-Jones that you had to leave at short notice for South Africa. He suggested I should wait for your return and promised to let me know if a meeting could be arranged at his flat in Albamy..."

"Dear Dame Rebecca, Thank you very much for your cordial letter and invitation to lunch on Sunday. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and talk over a few things which I consider of some importance. [?] I have no car but I am sure I could find my way round after reaching High Wycombe. I should like to save you the trouble - may I only ring you up as soon as I reach H.W. probably some time before 1 p.m.?..."

Scope and Contents
"Dear Dame Rebecca, I cannot resist the temptation of letting you know that an American editor has asked me to write an essay of about 10.000 words on your work. I most sincerely hope that I will manage to cope with that rather formidable task. As I have mentioned to you already literary historians in the USA have complained about the scarcity of bibliographical material on your creative output..."

"Dear Dame Rebecca, Your letter reached me with some delay as it was sent to an address which I left in 1943; it came though as a blessed relief for I began wondering whether I have done something to upset you. I know you will be glad to hear that since spending that gloriously sunny day at Ibstone House two Sundays ago the emergency position has changed very much in our favour. Indeed, thanks to a few contributions from well-wishers and after selling yet another important section of my...

"Dear Dame Rebecca, You really sent me home dreaming. It was not only the display of your irresistibly rich intelligence and with, but also the generosity with which you listened to ADAM'S clumsy epic. Many, many thanks for everything - the sunshine on the terrace, the lunch, the conversation, and the promise to give our predicament a quiet thought. You mentioned a few names, which, naturally convey magic: the South African gold-mines king; Unilever; I.C.I., etc. A minute slice out of their...

"Dear Dame Rebecca, In case you might have been wondering about our prolonged silence I should like you to know that we have been through new difficulties, but we do hope to be able to carry on for at least another year or so thus reaching ADAM's thirtieth year of publication. This afternoon while perusing The New Freewoman I was amazed - and delighted - to come across an essay of yours Trees of gold which must have been written when you were still a teenager. As I have reasons to suspect...
