Some time ago a very brilliantly written novel entitled Sagittarius appeared, written by an ace surviving from 1914-18 named Cecil Lewis. I know him personally.

He is a tremendously quick worker with his pen - almost as quick as Mr Lloyd George - and he is a vigorous and competent. organiser of a department. Ask Sir John Reith about him.

Again forgive my butting in...”, 1 side A4, 4 Whitehall Court headed paper, 4th October
