[Letter] [19]18 Apr. 17, Woodfield House, Woodfield Road, Ealing, W. [to] Miss Jackson / John Oxenham.

Oxenham responds to a letter of Jackson's about his name. His birth name was Dunkerley, however he wrote most of his works under the name John Oxenham. In this letter he suggests that it is in "nice taste" to use the name an author has adopted. In addition, there is a postscript in red. The censors had returned the letter, so Oxenham says he will try again.

[2] p. ; 11 cm.
