Loosely inserted is a 1p. t.l. from the publishers to W.W.Smithson dated April 15th 1926, stating: "We thank you very much for your word about the Burton illustrations. We think that this is in many ways the most useful contribution to the craft of modern book production which we have been able to make ... the decriers of the illustrations have not had it by any means all their own way, and there has been a strong rally to the book which now fetches a substantial premium."
