Dated 27th September, 1945 addressed ‘My dear Mander’ / It occurs to me that these two books might be of interest to you to add to your collection, if you do not already possess them, since I had the pleasure of introducing you to Marion Spielmann, one of the few surviving links with Ruskin and the pre-Raphaelites. You are a specialist in those matters, and I am not, so the books will be better placed in your library than in mine. Yours sincerely ‘Samuel’. – Stamped: Rep’d 5 Oct 1945
