Dear Miss Smith,

 

Thanks for your letter with enclosure.

     

We have THE SWORD OF SONG and Mr. Hilbery has seen it. So we need not buy Dulau's copy.

     

You also know that we have a copy of WHY JESUS WEPT.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

 

Miss Smith,

c/o Messrs Constable & Co,

10 & 12, Orange Street,

Leicester Square,

W.C.2.
