Summary
Writing that he is delighted to hear that Knight is planning a re-publication of his lectures and that he is willing "to give further help to the cause which I have undertaken to advocate" (probably a reference to Chamberlain's advocacy of tariff reform); saying that in general he declines being the subject of dedications but in this case he will accept; writing that he is very anxious to have "short popular leaflets for general circulation" and if Knight will send him drafts, he will have them published and circulated by the Tariff Committee that has been formed in Birmingham.
