One page, 8vo, fold mark, small closed tears on fold, good condition, pencilled ticks (by Stokes?). "I am in bed, now reading a bit of Ben Johnson [sic] now a bit of 'Moll Flanders", now a bit of [?] & now a bit of Marie Corelli." He anticipates when he'll next be in the "office". New paragrph, "Will you and Mr Moore go through that basket of mine marked "Current" & send off for setting that wghich appeals to you. There is an article on Arthur Machen, which should be cut [...]. Othersinclude: literary life, Books that have Helped, Massingham, [Charles S.?], & an article by Philip Page [..] In short send up anything you damn well like." Note: Evans edited T.P.'s Weekly from 1923-1929, and Stokes was Assistant Editor. The latter apparently coined the phrase "the best-hated man in Wales" for Caradoc Evans.
