Notation
While many of Schreiner's letters to Unwin deal with problems and issues, particularly with regard to contracts and payments, it is also clear that Unwin assiduously promoted publicity about and sales of her publications. This included through sending copies to well-placed people, including Constance Lytton, to whom Schreiner had dedicated Woman & Labour. Lytton's response was sent not long before Schreiner's to Unwin:
Homewood,
Knebworth,
Herts.
Rail. Knebworth. G.N.R.
Telegrams, Knebworth.
Ap. 20. 1911.
