MACCARTHY, DESMOND, - Autograph Letter signed [�Desmond MacCarthy�] to Richard Cobden-Sanderson concerning T. J. Cobden-Sanderson and other matters.

London, aug. 29 1926. (DOVES PRESS) 12mo. 2 1/2 pp. Fine. ¶ Fine letter from the distinguished critic and journalist Desmond MacCarthy, literary editor of the New Statesman at the time. T.J. Cobden-Sanderson's Journals (edited by his son Richard) was published in 1926; apparently MacCarthy had received a review copy from Richard. �I have almost finished your father's Journals, which means that I have been neglecting my work disgracefully. It also means that I have been enjoying them very much. I have been quite content to drop my life & live in his for two days�� He goes on to solicit copies of C.-S.'s other writings, and asks whether Richard would prefer a short article in the New Statesman, or a longer article in The Empire Review. �i have a good deal to say�I must tell you how much I admire the printing & paging & spacing & binding of the journals��
