Typed Letter Signed to Herbert S. Gunn, 1903-1962, editor of the Evening Standard
1944-1952, saying he will "not bother to write words of praise of the Standard, though I could think of many. But I am a critic ...", hoping that "the leader on the Doctors", which he liked, was passed by the policy committee, Whitehead's advertisement note was financial news, "not up to the standard of the Diary ... Keep an eye on Baxter. His notes of November 16th on the Theatre were hurried ...", while the picture "Smart girl comes to town" does not warrant the caption or the space, and suggesting the series be dropped, he is just back from his place Gunn Point in Nassau, "a lovely spot and as beautiful as your wife" (Olive, m. 1944, formerly a Mail reporter), 1 side 4to., Cromarty, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 26th November no year, circa
