My dear Vivian -
I have seen the Realm[3] - and it seems to me that they have all the same picked at the "Interview[4]", and in a way knocked the bottom out of it in a way - For instance I am sure that I did not say about the cheque "If I had not kept it there would have been no opportunity of stating my views." Stating my views, is very flat - I don't remember, but there must have been something there much more telling and much sharper than that! [p. 2] I suppose the Editor was afraid - and cut it out! -
How was it really?
What news have you? - You might write a line and tell me -
Very sincerely yours
J McN Whistler
