Typed letter signed with initials : Filleigh, to H.P. Collins, [ca. 1925].

Thanking him for the Powys booklet and hoping that he is feeling better; saying "I have been ill myself in bed for a month with all the weakness of fever, etc. and know well how you must be feeling. Poor old chap. I wish I could cheer you up in some way, but here I am stuck in the mud, grinding out my books, a man of destiny to himself, if not to the world. I wrote to Squire urging him to do all he could for you, I do hope something came of it. I wish I were in a position to add to your ease of mind, but I am just about broke myself and have come to realise that I have got to work hard, probably at reviewing at hack rates in order to keep my family and small household together. The Dream of Fair Women, which I imagine you didn't like, as nobody does, sold about 2000 here and 1400 in America;" sending best wishes for the new year to him and to his father.
