Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'There is what I consider a pretty good 5 Towns story [‘From One Generation to Another’] in the October London Magazine. But they have given it a rotten air by splitting it up into two short paragraphs, & by the vilest illustrations. I hate to be published in that desolating publication. It humiliates me. Still, new flats have to be paid for.'
