and admire them. It may one
day be your business as Chief
of the Secret Service to hang
me; but I'm sure we'll
hang - and be hanged -
like sportsmen!

I was talking about your books
yesterday to Lady Margaret
Sackville, and we agreed that
they held a much deeper
significance than is
obvious, and we were one
in our envy of your wonder-
ful enthusiasm - an enthus-
iasm and strength which
grows with each book, I think,
if I may say so.

The Atlantis book went very
well. I have had letters about
it from all parts of the world,
literally from China to Peru.
It seems to have stirred up
all the cranks in Christendom.
I am casting about for a
publisher for another book on
Atlantis, as Messrs Rider
seem to think it would
queer later editions of the
book they have published.
The subject is one which
never fails to appeal.

With thanks for your
kind letter, I am,

Yours sincerely

Lewis Spence.
