Part of a collection of the autograph manuscript of "A Postcript" (an essay published in The Legion Book) and related autograph letters signed (6) and an autograph postcard signed (1) to H. Cotton Minchin. Items in the collection are described in eight individual records (MA 5153.1-8).
Telling him, "Too much general writing has refused me the mood for reviving the War enough to achieve that article"; wondering when Minchin needs his article, and adding, "I should like to do something, but it's not the kind of thing that should be forced"; noting that he is beginning at the Nation in three weeks; promising to tell S[iegfried] Sassoon that Minchin "would welcome something from him" as soon as he gets Sassoon's address abroad; expressing doubt that Sassoon will have time to write anything: "I understand he is devoting his mind, so far as he is writing at all, to the sequel of his Fox-Hunting Man."
