Typescript letter signed from W.G. Constable, Museum of Fine Arts Boston MA, to Benians

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.
