Letter from William Plomer to Leonard Woolf (21/07/1949)

William Plomer informs Leonard Woolf to reconsider reissuing Sado instead of I Speak of Africa for the New Phoenix Library; he believes nothing from the latter work except for Ula Masondo and Black Peril. Instead, Plomer states Sado is worth reviving for a generation of readers that haven't heard of it before. An additional note states he wishes Woolf could put Woolf's The Village in the Jungle in the New Phoenix Library.

Handwritten letter signed by William Plomer.
