Whilst I understand that this maybe helps the “secret editor” it’s really annoying.

This letter is written in the spirit of free speech and free reading, without seeing the editing that comes before publishing.
Anyway, the person who does this is a “kindred spirit” and likes the same books as me – so see you “in pencil” soon!
