One page, 8vo, trimmed with loss of text (at right edge). "I enclose the promised sample cas[e] for THE READING OF BOOKS. Would you be kind en[ough] to let me know which of the two you preefer. On [the] case marked A the signature on the front board [is] blocked blind and in a way we should prefer it [like] this. On the other hand the signature blocked [in] gold appears to be much more readable but perha[ps] a little too heavy - still yoy should decide." On the reverse Holbrook Jackson has wortten the aphorism "Knowledge learns: wisdom knows". Note: This letter has been removed from a large collection of material (separately catalogued) in which Jackson has recorded many wise saws invented by himself. He has used the blank versos of halves of more of old bills, tradesmen's quotes, letters from Cedric Chivers, Grant Richards and others, parts of his own manuscripts (mostly unpublished material), etc. for many other aphorisms. Hence the trimming of this Wolpe letter.
