J.B. Priestley :
Many thanks for so kindly sending me your book. Of course I read the essay on myself when it appeared in the 'Mercury'. (One never misses these things.) Equally of course I did not agree with all of it, but at any rate I thought it very able and I agree heartily with all the praise; also I thought that some of the animadversions were rather good.

J.B. Priestley : Benighted
I have read your novel, and as you were kind enough to send it to me, I hope you will not mind me giving my opinion of it. I certainly think it is a much better book than 'Adam in Moonshine', which appeared to me to be not the work of a novelist. 'Benighted' seems to me to be the work of a novelist.
