My dear John

I was worried about you last night and relieved when the wind fell. I hope that you had a good journey to Belfast and that you will return none the worse for your unselfish effort. But do avoid unnecessary journeys in winter.

I send the A.L. lecture. I much hope that you will

print the brilliant and persuasive vindications of the things in literature that are dear to me which you gave us on Saturday. What you said needed thinking out, it needed saying, and it could not be more clearly thought or better said. And it also needs more thinking on the reader's or listener's part than could be done that afternoon. So print.

Ever yours

Robert S. Rait.
