'Monday 19th July ?Story teller in London? ? (Pett Ridge) This book is of the type that I enjoy when easy reading is the mood. To make almost personal acquaintance with famous personages, bohemians, politicians, writers, bon viveurs through the medium of the pen of an acquaintance. I like Ridge. I think he is undoubtedly the great Cockney of his generation and his description of office and suburban life are what I myself dream of as the pinnacle of literary perfection, which I would like to rise to. It appears he is quite a public man in South London and a Philanthropist.'
