16 Dec:

Dear McKerrow,

I have had a frightful rush this last week or I should have written before to congratulate you on Vol I No i of R.E.S. I like it in every way: type, size, cover, arrangement, matter & even head lines now I see them in their place. If you keep up the standard it will be a great review.

I wrote to de Selincourt quoting to him more or less what you said about his article {1} & asking him to send it to you direct. If he does not write to you before the New Year you might send him a line to stir him up.

With best wishes to you all at home for the season, in which my wife joins, I remain

yours ever
J. Dover Wilson

I enclose my subscription for 1925.
