Fine Typed Letter Signed to Peter HAINING (1940-2007,Journalist, Author and Anthologist) thanking him for his letter "with your suggestion and so much back-up detail, including the Sherlock Holmes Scrapbook. This last I have not read, only looked through, but even at a glance it looks marvellously intriguing and extremely well produced. Yes ... for the great pleasure he gave me as a kid, I would be very happy to do the introduction to THE RIDER HAGGARD SCRAPBOOK. As you surmise, I am pressed at the moment, but then I am always pressed for one reason or another. I suggest you let me know in due course your deadline .. I will meet it .. I shall undoubtedly need some sort of a list of what you are including ... As you appear to live within virtually a stone's throw of us I suggest we have a brief meeting...", 1½ side 8vo., (together with the carbon copies of Haining's letters to Innes,),4 sides A4, Ayres End, Kersey, Suffolk, 22nd May
