STOCKS COTTAGE,
TRING.

April 8 1920

My dear John

Your letter has come and I
am most grateful to you - it is
very kind of you to have written
so fully and your advice
is just what I wanted. It may
interest you to know that I had
already, on reflection, come to the
conclusion (I told Sarah) that
the things were essentially reviews
and that, unless you took the opposite
view very decidedly indeed, I should
give up the idea of publishing them.

Meanwhile your generous remarks
about the article gives me great

[in margin:] of your hospitable suggestion about
Elsfield. It would be delightful to come to you there.
Yrs ever faithfully. Thanks again.

John Bailey
