Gift Inscription from the author on a Harcourt card attached to the front free end-paper with an inscription by the author to Woolf scholar Mitchell Leaska: "Dear Mitchell - Here is a copy of my book at last. I know you have read it, but I wanted you to have your own copy - All good wishes. John" Loosely inserted is a clipping from The Sunday New York Times of their review of the book April 1976, which is unsigned, but probably from Leaska, who emphasises that John Lehmann`s commentaries on the novels are dispassionate and lucid, based on a first-hand experience of how she wrote them. Leaska is mentioned in the "Acknowledgments", p. 118: "I must finally thank Professor Mitchell Leaska of New York University for allowing me to refer to his remarkable discovery about the origin of "The Years", which will be described in his book, to be published by the New York Public Library in 1976.

Eliot writes his friend John Lehmann concerning a proposed contribution to the inaugural issue of the London Magazine, soon to be relaunched under Lehmann's editorship. Eliot is attentive to tone and deadline (transcribed): My dear John, The message can be composed, I think, within the time limit you set, as I believe that I have finished grinding out a lecture for the National Book League. I say "message". because I think that a letter beginning "Dear John" would give the public a coterie impression whereas a letter beginning (to the Editor) "Dear Sir" might appear suspiciously formal. A message, then. Yours ever, Tom Eliot delivered A Message as pledged and it appeared at pp. 15-16 of the inaugural issue of the New London Magazine in February 1954 (with a copy of the printed magazine).
