Typed Letter Signed to Mr Mawson on H.M.S. Bicester
saying that his letter had given him great pleasure. To know that my books will stand reading more than once is as much as any many can ask. It has been a great privilege to record the spirit and manners of a class 'in their habi,t as they lived' - a class which is almost extinct, which, I shall always believe, was of value to the community. Of course they had their faults: but the 'knew behaviour'. I am so glad you that fallen again for THE STOLEN MARCH. It was always a favourite of mine..., 1 side 4to., with original typed envelope, Umtali, Southern Rhodesia headed paper, 28th December
