MORLEY
(Charles, d. 1916, Editor of the Pall Mall Magazine)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Dorothy and Marion',
saying he will "be very glad to use your joint contribution, which makes me wish I had a Moke too, especially if I could go touring in France ... Your description of one feast is sending me off to Soho to-night where the French cuisine is to be had for 1/6 ... Please remember that I take the article not for the love I bear your father - but on its merits as a sizeable contribution which will bring sixpences into our exchequer ... Avoid poetry especially if it is about hearts & tombstones - the quantity of broken hearts I have to read about makes we wish that men had no such organs - Your father used to like this sort of thing ... I once saw a lady's heart in a glass bottle at the College of Surgeons", he adds gruesomely "they are only fit for frying - by a French chef ... We go to Steyning on Saturday & if your famous Motor can find its way there I hope it will turn up at our door ... 'BURDOCK' the grocer ... They keep petrol there", 4 sides 8vo., Pall Mall Magazine, Newton Street, Holborn, W.C., 29th July
