William Rothenstein : Men and Memoirs

I am returning your Memoirs. Technically they have practically no faults, except those of the typist. A few slips here and there. And also one or two places where I think a little cutting might be done. . . . Finally you need have no qualms about the book, either technically of as to its interestingness. As a fact you write a damned sight too skilfully for a painter.

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Manuscript: typescript
