signed, extensively inscribed and dated 'September 1949 / Dear John Betjeman/Here - to the best of my recollection -/ is (what is his Christian name? I doubt/ whether he has one) Smithers. (A man without/ a tie might well have no Christian name.)/ Nevertheless, the letter from him that you/ sent to me is an eternal treasure - as/ is also the letter that you send with/ it - an honour very dear to me from such/ a one as you. Florence and I send/ all greeting to Mrs. John and to you. / Yours gratefully and / admiringly Max Beerbohm' (below the drawing)
