Dear Mr. Norton,

B.R. asks me to thank you for your letter. He is very glad you like the proposed book, which is now being printed by Allen and Unwin. The proofs should be here when you come. He asks you not to print In Praise of Idleness for the book itself from the old Harper’s copy, as there have been several minor additions and alterations.

We shall both be delighted to have a visit from you and Mrs. Norton on the 29th and 30th of June. We have lots of room here, and fortunately no one else is coming that week-end. It will give me great pleasure to meet you both.

Yours very truly,
Peter Spence

P.S. Contract to follow shortly.
