It was natural from his point of view. I confess to feeling some indignation when his ... utterances are taken up & repeated vehemently ... who have never taken the trouble to understand their ... position; and not differ from him ... coolly & scientifically the usual conditions ... of the proposed remedies ... But is economy scientific. That is a question on wh. I suspect that Jowett would have followed Mill in taking a rather exaggerated view of the claims of his favourite study. Admitting that it is possible to construct a science setting forth the laws of the production exchange and distribution of wealth no one can deny its vast importance.

STERN
(G.B., 1890-1973, Author)
Autograph Letter Signed ‘with initials, to Catherine Dupré,
(1927-2014, Writer and Artist) saying that she envies her “Vienna, & thank you for your candles & prayer for me at St Stefan’s, they can join the little miraculous Medal which Marguerite Steer bought me from there with ‘Wien’ scratched on it - I can wear it now because my long silver chain from a friend in Philadelphia has safely arrived. This letter is getting too geographical! It’s chiefly to say that I saw Father Mangan yesterday at Farm Street & we talking about you... and instructed me & Pamela Frankau he said he’d certainly like a talk with Desmond...”, continuing at length about arranging a meeting and going on that “Father M. has to have a long rest... he’s terribly lame from his wound in the 1914 War & not at all strong, easily gets exhausted. But he is a darling, full of fun and humour, well-read & with an intellectual not a sentimental approach to Catholicism, very human and scornful of people who ‘split hairs’ over what doesn’t really matter...”, 8 sides 8vo., D1 Albany, W1, no date but circa
