Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'It seems to me that I have to write to you in the same nagging strain as I do to Wells, In spite of my brotherly admonitions & my fatherly threats apropos of previous books there are at least as many grammatical slips in this one as in any. . . . Such, imperfectly, respectfully, & fragmentarily are my views about this history which you have so affectionately dedicated to the aged one. There are lots of questions I want to ask you about it. Will you dine Thursday 21st?'
