Letter from J.W.T. Ley, Newport, Monmouthshire, to Edward Wagenknecht, 1938 May 28 : typescript signed.

Confirming receipt of a manuscript; admitting that he has "done no more than hurridly [sic] turn the pages" but that "I have seen enough to know that you have been through it very thoroughly"; expecting to easily deal with Thomas Wright's discoveries; believing that "Mary Hogarth will call for consideration"; expressing a need to read the Nonesuch edition of Dickens' letters and marveling at the collection; relating a story about an old woman who had never read Dickens but has now done so and written to Ley for recommendations for books about Dickens and expressing the intent to write an article based on her letters for the Dickensian.
