GEORGE LANSBURY

stit,--It is hoped that in quieter times an authoritative life will be published of my father-in-law, the late George Lansbury. No date can be fixed for this, but if material is not collected now it may quite likely be dispersed or destroyed. With the authorisation of his eldest son and executor, I am therefore writing to you to ask if any of your readers who may have letters or other records of "G. L." which would be of value to his biographer would be kind enough to let me have them for that purpose?

Would those who are so kind as to do this please indicate very clearly those documents that they would like returned to them, and I will endeavour, if I can arrange it, to have them copied.—Yours very
