Summary
Discussing book about Forrest Reid "by a writer who never actually saw him, and who indeed is not yet in his thirties" being published by Faber & Faber and working on an introduction and discussing his own correspondence with Forrest Reid and comments on "The Riddle"; remembering stories published in the "'London Mercury', brilliantly edited by Jack Squire"; describing a package following that "contains two 'Edwards' in my own caligraphy--as you will see. Why it never did go on to E.A.R. I cannot conceive" and comparing memory to moth-eaten wool.
