My dear Smith
So glad!
London B and Charing X were cleaned out yesterday & clamouring for more. I thought — but dared not say — that Smiths order was a complete underestimate.
He should pay up for the fund.
I have a friend to whom I should wish to commit the French translation — if you have not finally settled. You might wire me at Hindhead about this.
Please send me a dozen copies at Hindhead.
I had another £13 last night.
With all thanks
- Yours
