To Logan Pearsall Smith
22 Beaumont St Oxford
April 6, 1919
Dear Smith,
Both you and Mr Kyllmann are very good. Of course, a new and more manageable edition of the Life of Reason has been the dream of my life, but it must be a revised edition. I don’t mean that I think it worth while to rewrite the book: if I attempted it, I should spoil whatever may be good and fresh about it.
