Bull, William to Thomas Tucker, 1924-05-18

Recipient is inferred to be Thomas Tucker because of the close date to Edith Nesbit's death, the writer's reference to the recipient's "Mate" (possibly meaning wife) in the past tense, and description of her as an author whose works would only become more famous as time went by.

Transcribed copy of the original letter.

"My dear Sir, I have had such a terrific week of political and professional work that I have been unable to touch any of my private correspondence until this morning when I am "slacking" it in my garden instead of attending church. It is a real relaxation to answer your pleasant letter which I will gum into one of your "Mate's" books:- I wish I had met her - I often inteded trying to do so - but the busy world runs on and we let opportunities slide unmtil it is too late..."
