GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950)
Typed letter signed ("Arthur Moss") [editor of the Gargoyle], to George Bernard Shaw at 10 Adelphi Terrace, London, one page, 4°, on Gargoyle headed paper, 7 rue Campagne-Première, Paris, 28 November 1921.
"I am much impressed by the foresight shown in your first article on The Disarmament Conference in the London Nation. I wonder what will be your next ingenious reason for not visiting the United States. The only time I have had my faith in you severely jolted, was when you picked Carpentier to whip Dempsey. I am sending you under separate cover, a copy of Gargoyle which is a review of the arts edited in Paris by Americans."
Bernard Shaw replies in manuscript at the foot of the same page by thanking him for sending him The Gargoyle: "but I did not pick Carpentier to whip Dempsey, whom I had never seen. I expressly warned you not to put that construction on my preliminary article on the betting. Don't blame me if you disregarded the warning. Did you read my article on the fight? G. B. S. 3/12/21," framed and glazed.
