"Dear Mrs. Moore It was very good of you to have bothered to write me such a detailed letter in reply to mine as I feel rather cross with myself for having given you so much trouble at a time when I'm sure you long to be left in peace. I had intended to make it quite clear that the notes I sent you were intended purely for your information to be acted upon as you wished and thought fit and were not demands by me for alterations..."

"Dear Mrs Moore I'm very glad to hear you're better again and I hope it won't be long now before you're fully recovered. You must have a remarkable fund of energy to make you wish to get to work again so soon and that itself should help you greatly. I told you how pleased I was with the book. I'm proud now of my own foresightedness for after the first time I met you I told enquire [?] that I thought you were the woman for the job and would probably turn out something good..."

"Dear Mrs. Moore I am so sorry to hear from you that you are ill and [?] Rosamund that it is into the hands of the Surgeons that you have got. However they take less time as a rule over their cures or killings than the Physicians do and as they would have to be remakrably incompetent to kill you over this affair I hope you will be well again in a very short time. Purely for my own selfish self I am thankful for the respite and the extra time I am allowed for reading your book..."

Scope and Contents "Dear Mrs Moore I am sorry to have delayed answering your letter when you were in a hurry for a reply but I didn't get it until Monday because I was away for the week-end and I thought it was worth while waiting until this evening because I had Miss Hoatson coming to dinner with me and I knew she could give me a true account of how Daddy died. It seems that she was taking a letter from his dictation at the time and that he suddenly said 'I feel giddy'. She went to him and tried to support...

"Dear Mrs. Moore I have no direct knowledge of Rolfe's introduction to us but you will find that one of the letters Symons sends you was written to the secretary of the Fabian Society and contains praise of my Father's work. I have always assumed that Daddy was either the secretary at that time or that the letter was handed on to him by the secretary and that his acquaintance with Rolfe sprang from this..."

"Dear Mrs Moore It is sickening but I am afraid that we shan't be able to meet next week. I have the first three evenings already filled and I go away for Easter on Thursday. Unless I manage to get a lunch time free, [which?] is most unlikely, I shall have to postpone the pleasure of seeing you till you are next in London. You did not tell me in your other letter whether you have got Miss Hoatson's consent to mentioning the subject of my birth..."

"Dear Mrs Moore I am so glad to be at last able to thank you for the very nice Christmas card you sent me. I had lost your address and so have been unable to do so before. I have thought over this matter of my birth and I see no good reason why you shouldn't mention it if you do so as discreetly as you say you will..."

"Dear Mrs Moore Let me first apologise for answering your letter so tradily. In truth I only got it today because, in my casual way, I sent my address to my woman only a day or so ago. As I remember it Mother used to tell the "Same qui jile" story like this..."

Scope and Contents "Dear Mrs Moore Thank you very much indeed for the Technique of the Love Affair. I feel that the help I have been able to give you has in no way earned such a valuable present. I shall study it very carefully and hope that my next affair will go the more smoothly in consequence. Stephen has told me that he is sure any woman who followed its advice would become irresitible and I hope that even if, as I am a man, it may not do as much for me it will at any rate arm me against the tricks of...
