Stuk 58 - Letter from Bernard Langdon-Davies to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item: typescript with autograph signature, and postscript in another hand.

22 Bride Lane, E.C.4., London. - Thanks Trevelyan for the 'admirably printed book' [the "Pterodamozels'] which he found on his 'return from Conway'. Much liked the book when he saw it in manuscript, as Trevelyan knows, and is glad it has 'so suitable a setting'; hopes sales will go well. Supposes Trevelyan will have seen the 'enclosed programme [no longer present: perhaps the 'Charter of Freedom'? See also 19/61] and the articles upon it in the "[Daily] Herald"; in confidence, it is 'the product of a purely informal little group of us' including [Norman] Angell and [Bertrand] Russell, who have 'undertaken considerable liabilities for printing, advertising and distribution' and would be very grateful if Trevelyan could spare any money to help if he approves of it 'either in itself or as a kind of gadfly to others, which was our object'.

Postscript in another hand [Marjorie Manus's] that Mrs Manus will let Trevelyan have the names tomorrow, and apologising for the 'unavoidable delay'.

19/61: letter, 23 July 1917, from Marjorie Manus to R. C. Trevelyan, originally enclosing lists as promised in the postscript to this letter, and with Langdon-Davies's acknowledgment and thanks for Trevelyan's contribution towards the 'expenses of the Charter'.
