1 item

Thanks Eddy for his letter. Binyon, whom Bob saw after seeing Eddy, 'gave the same advice as Squire and said he would do what he could to help Lascelles [Abercrombie] by writing to people in America' if required [re a lecture/reading tour?]; [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson would also help. Lascelles thinks it 'might be a good plan', but 'seems hardly anxious to make the experiment this year'; Bob does not see why he should not try this autumn, perhaps Eddy could talk to him about it if he sees him in town. Binyon doubts Lascelles would earn much the first time, but would 'be fairly sure to' the second. Would be best if something came up at home, but that cannot be counted on. Lascelles has 'got on better with his reviewing' the last few days, and 'seems more cheerful'. Eddy's Christmas presents to the children 'brought great joy'.
