Dear Sir,

 

Thank you very much for your letter and for your kindness in presenting me with the copy of the Rogert Fry woodcuts. I shall be very much interested to have this.

 

I hope that you may be successful in getting a purchaser for the other copies.

 

Yours truly, | Margaret Pilkington [signature] | Hon. Director.

Margaret Pilkington writes to thank The Hogarth Press for allowing her to keep a copy of Twelve Original Woodcuts and wishes them luck in their search of a purchaser for the remaining copies [This letter appears to thank a P. Ryland, which could be a typo and mean to say, P. Raymond]
