A charming letter accepting Starrett's offer of honorary membership in the Baskerville Hounds. Eliot cheerfully notes: "I should let you know that I am already an honorary Musgrave Ritualist and an honorary Trained Cormorant, so I hope that amongst the various septs or divisions of the Baker Street Irregulars there is no regulation preventing pluralism." FINE. [With]: A carbon copy of Starrett's invitation letter to Eliot, Easter Sunday, 1956. -- Conferment by Needle. St. Louis: Ronart Press, 1980.
