[ Edward Verrell Lucas, essayist and chairman of London publishers Methuen & Co. ] Typed Letter Signed ('E. V. Lucas') to C. H. Whitby of Yeovil booksellers E. Whitby & Son, regarding Everyman's Library [and his edition of Charles Lamb's letters].

1p., 4to. In good condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. Clearly referring to his edition of Charles Lamb's letters, he begins by explaining that the 'trouble is that the size of the books will be conditioned by the circumstance that ultimately they are to go into Everyman's Library'. Even before his 'visit to America', he had assembled 'more than 250 in excess of any current edition'.
