"Dear Mrs. Langley Moore, I am so very sorry that your letter has been so long left unanswered in the great pressure of work. I should be only too delighted to help you about the Biography.

"Dear Miss Moore, Thank you for your letter. I am going away till the late end of September. I don't know when you will need an appreciation or an overlooking of that letter. But if there is any hurry letters will always be forwarded to me..."

"Dear Mrs. Moore: It was very nice of you indeed to send me the E. Nesbit letter. I read it with the greatest interest. Also amusement.

"Dear Madam - I have just read with great interest your biography of E. Nesbit, and have sent a copy to my father in California - Dr. Rowland Estenut. He was a member of The Fellowship of New Life, and one of the original Fabians. Indeed, I believe his name is signed to the minutes of the first meeting..."
