Transcript
The Clarendon Press, Oxford
23 ii 1924 {1}
My dear Sir,
I hope you will excuse my long delay in replying to your very kind invitation to contribute to the new Review of English Studies. We have all had influenza, & I am afraid my correspondence has suffered.
The Review has my best wishes & I think there is room for it; but I fear you could not rely on me as a contributor. I get very little time for writing & have no taste for reviewing—I suppose one can have too much of books. Besides Moore Smith has been so good to me on the few occasions that I have had anything to print that I feel some obligations.
Still, if you would be so patient as to leave it in this way: that I shall send you as & when I can anything I think might interest you, I shall do my best when I get a little more leisure. At least you may be sure that your inability to offer payment is not a consideration at all: we ought to be glad to be printed. Will your reviews be signed? There are difficulties both ways, but on the whole I prefer the openness of a signature.
Yours very truly
Kenneth Sisam
