TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.25, Bateman's Burwash, Sussex letterhead, August 6, 1920. Marked "Private" in the upper left corner, a letter to W. P. Hamilton, in part: “I confess that the notion of collecting my speeches has occurred to me from time to time, but I am so busy now in 'this world which is the old' (but worse), that I have had no leisure to go into the matter in detail. I am very flattered with your remembering what I said in a speech on literature at the Academy banquet in London more than a dozen years ago. I fear that in their zeal—shall we call it?—some publishers on your side [of] the water are issuing stuff that I did not write. I know of at least a dozen sets of verses accredit[ed] to me and circulated as such in the U.S.A. which I have no more to do with than with—Tariff Revision." In very good condition, with tape stains to the edges, and light staining to the lower blank area.
