Leonard Woolf, Esq.,
The Hogarth Press.
Dear Woolf,
Bonamy Dobree and I are engaged in compiling an Anthology of English Prose, to be published by Messrs Eyre and Spottiswoode. We should very much like to include a passage from To the Lighthouse ("Oh but", said Lilly [sic], "think of his work!" to "the flock of starlings which Jasper had routed with his gun had settled on the tops of the elm-trees.") Would you kindly grant us the necessary permission, and if you grant it, tell me whether it covers America.
With kind regards, | Yours sincerely, | Herbert Read [signature]
