| Evidence: | 'Tell Leonard to read Harold's new book. It is more in his line than yours, being political, but I think you would be amused by some passages in his diary, which is the second half of the book. I have a great admiration for Harold, - quite unprejudiced. I like his lucid mind, and his ease of expression. He is like a person who knows how to use a scythe, - rhythmic, sharp, and sure.' |
