Evidence:
'I have now perused the L.M.I. & will inflict my views on you. It is on the whole what I should call a "sound" number – good, considering that it is a first number. . . . Nichols’s story is fair . . . I assume that the insertion of the Gosse article was chiefly politic. It does not seem to me to possess any positive merit. The Lynd & the Stobart are both A1 Alice leaves me cold. I think you did a lot of the poetry reviews, & I expect they are quite all right . . . Thibaudet is really excellent, much better than I thought he would be.'
