I believe I explained that exceptional demands would make it difficult & I’ve also received an intimation that one of the Sunday papers is planning to invite me to do a special feature on the two books but I’m not at all sure whether I shall be able to accept.’ Dosse is ‘quite right in supposing that the Easton volume will be by no means complete’. 9 May 1974; on letterhead of Beauforest House, Newington, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxford. unknown

Sending his 'mosts profound sympathy in the danger which threatens Chelsea'. He will sign 'the paper . with the greatest of pleasure' although he anticipates 'very little good as a possible result'. Suggests a time at which the paper can be sent to him. He doubts whether it will be 'any consolation' but 'the London County Council are at this moment allowing the most beautiful suburb in London namely Frognal to be ruined by the erection of hideous barracks that they call flats. Their architect says that he can do nothing in the matter.' Besant's signature has a diagonal line through it apparently in the same ink and it is not clear whether this is a stylistic flourish or a cancellation by Besant possibly on the letter being returned to him with the papers referred to in the letter.
