Summary
Thanking him for giving his consent to a project that Cockerell describes as "a little drama concerning a famous Press" (probably the Doves Press); describing it further: "Some hard knocks are given and received, but it is the true story, complete and unassailable; which we both think worth setting out once for all"; assuring him that his father T.J. Cobden-Sanderson "is seen as an uncompromising visionary, and this tells in his favour, after the lapse of years."
