[Rose Macaulay-Attwater correspondence, 1936-1941]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35923025

Three letters replying to Mr. Attwater's request for pamphlets which he has asked her to write for a cause of which he is a member. In the first letter (22 Dec. 1936) Macaulay thanks Attwater and says "the Secretary of the Peace Pledge asked me if I would let the story ... appear as one of the P.P.H. pamphlets. As I belong to this, I think I ought to do so ...." In the second letter (31 Jan. 1937) the author again declines to contribute something to Attwater's cause because the Peace Pledge is "a little short of pamphlets, & always wanting new ones, so I may feel I ought to stick to them for any I write -- if I do write any more." In the third letter (27 July 1941) Macaulay again declines Attwater's request, saying, "It sounds a good series. But I am afraid I should be no use for the Dick Shepherd book ... I am sorry, but there it is. I could probably turn out 3000 words, but not 30,000. I hope you can get it done by someone good."
