Autograph Letter Signed to Sir Henry Trueman Wood, Secretary, Royal Society of Arts.

4to: 2 pp. Sixteen lines. Good, on lightly aged paper. Thanking Wood for his 'kindly notice of "Historic Jamaica"'. He hopes 'the good people of Jamaica will appreciate the book in time - I spoilt my 1914 holiday to produce it'. Wishes Wood could 'come out to Jamaica in these days of motor cars'. Cars 'make seeing the country very easy - the only drawback is that one goes too fast for seeing the country well'. The 'Examiner for the <?> Board' ('this year it is to be Dr Lloyd') is coming to the island the following month. 'I usually go with the Examiner, to keep him happy! In eight days we see a great part of the island.' Asks after Sir Alexander Sweettenham, who 'still keeps up an interest in my West India Library & sends me cuttings from catalogues that he thinks (usually, without foundation) that I may have missed'.
