venturing to send you a copy of my first book, of which I have just had some advance copies sent me (proud moment for a budding author!)..., he continues that he does not expect her to read it but only that you accept it as the only thing I have at present to offer in return for all your kindness to me at West Park - a tangible memento. Also, i discovered on reaching Liverpool that my fountain pen was missing. It is of no particular consequence as it is both old & cheap, but if you should happen to see it lying about, I should be much obliged if you could send it to me here. It is a 'Blackbird'... with a postscript that he has also left his address book behind, 3 sides 8vo., 27 Westbourne Square, London, 16th September
