Dear Sir,

 

We are anxious to include in our BOOKLOVER'S DIARY a number of short notes on the books of famous living authors, chosen by themselves.

     

We should therefore be very grateful if you would be kind enough to answer in a hundred words, or less, the following question:

 

By which of your published works do

you prefer to be judged—and why?

 

The answer will appear as a weekly Footnote to the Diary.

     

We apologise for bothering you but anticipate that a short reply will be of great interest to the large bookloving public who use this Diary.

     

We enclose a specimen copy of the Diary and a stamped addressed envelope.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Charles Petts & Co.
