Dear Mrs McCracken
Thank you for your letter. I think the little sketch you sent me very sympathetic. I hope your volume will be most successful when it comes out.
With best wishes for the new year for your husband & yourself.
Yours sincerely,
Olive Schreiner.

Dear Mr Unwin
Please find enclosed cheque for 5/5 for the book which I received all right. They have it in the lending department at the Times Book club, but said I could not by a copy as it was out of print. At four other shops they didn’t know of its existence.
I don’t belong to the 1918 club now. I proposed to join it thinking it was a social club, where one could dine & meet ones friends but found it was just a sort of place for ^lectures^ meetings: but hope I shall have the pleasure of meeting you somewhere else some day.
Yours sincerely
Olive Schreiner
