"I have your letter with the addendum. I incline to the plan of a very large number of signatures, as influential as possible. I think you and Gilbert Murray and I have pretty well used up our capital of influence in regard to Germany. I dare say my judgment is wrong, and I will agree to whatever you decide."

Dear Gollancz

I have your letter with the addendum. I incline to the plan of a very large number of signatures,1 as influential as possible. I think you and Gilbert Murray and I have pretty well used up our capital of influence in regard to Germany. I dare say my judgment is wrong, and I will agree to whatever you decide.

Yours evera
