Thanks B for letter and his admirable history of USA. This helpful in shaping ideas for C's own book. C talked with American friends and they approve with way of tackling subject which enable C to cover ignorance and make book more readable. C still nervous but more certain something useful and interesting to English readers can be done. C not heard from Roberts - when he does he send detailed account of ground he proposes to cover. Illustrations essential. In worst case manage with number of small half-tones, 2 or 3 or 4 on a page - not very satisfactory but better than nothing.

What C proposes is just what is wanted and would make admirable book appreciated here and in America. B has passed on C's letter to Roberts asking R to write to him. Not fixed uniform size for books in series. Suggests 200-300 pages, longer if C likes. Trying to produce books which instructive to public.

W.G. Constable seems inclined to accept invitation to write book on fine arts in America for American Library. B thinks what he suggests good - what R think?. Will R write to him to clinch matter and answer his questions? Hopes they can get book from C - he do it very well.
