Scope and content
ALS, addressed from 15 Clifford's Inn E.C. Thanks him for sending a copy of The Eagle in which his name features. Corrects Mr Wilson's supposition that he (Butler) ever edited The Eagle (he did not). Refers to his discovery of some of his grandfather's manuscript papers, which appear to be drafts of a university magazine entitled 'The Butterfly'.
