Dear Woolf,

1[circled] My brother Kenneth writes very indignantly about Harris' review and other things and asks if he may write to you. If he does so dont [sic] be angry. He has a quite unreasonably extravagant opinion of the book.

2[circled] I forget if I told you that the East African Standard of Nairobi runs a book selling business. Would you care to tempt them to sell a couple of dozen copies by offering 6/- or 7/- instead

of 5/- commission? They even advertised Andrews [sic] book and advised readers to get it so as to learn what shocking things were being said about them.

3[circled] Harris knows and judiciously feeds the London correspondent of the E[ast].A[frican].S[tandard]. What about your sending them copies of reviews? The unanimity in commendation might impress the editor if he knew of it. It is indeed astonishing as also that no one hitherto has challenged any of my facts.

Yours | Norman Leys [signature]
