Joad tells BR that Dorothy MacKenzie, Graeme West's fiancée, is "copying out selections from some of West's other writings". [This surely refers to editing The Diary of a Dead Officer (1918).]

Edith Russell dated the typed copy 1919, but the year is surely 1917 because of this editing, which Joad prefaced. Moreover, a message about a lunch appointment (see document .051524a) in BR's hand is not confirmed by his 1919 pocket diary.

Joad thanks BR for his "2" reviews of Essays in Common-Sense Philosophy. [BR published 3.]

BR complains that Joad quotes him without so indicating and therefore cannot write a commendation of Joad's Guide to Philosophy. It is not clear if this is a copy of a letter that was sent. The fact that it has revisions and does not say "Not sent" indicates that it was to serve as a file copy of what was sent.
