'Many thanks for the inscribed D.F. ['The Dark Forest'] Overwork has delayed me much with it. I thought the opening rather vague and lacking in direction ? due no doubt to "recency" (a new word) of the impressions. However the book gathers force. By the time it finishes it is the best book of yours since Mr P & Mr. T.'
