Dear Sir,

our mutual friend Colonel Williams has sent me your note of the 23' Inst.

Allow me to express regret that you should be suffering from weakness of the eyes. I have special reason for feeling sympathy with those who thus suffer.

After my conversation with Col. Williams; I found that the subject of Land Reform — & specially of Land nationalization will be so well taken up by [2] various competent lecturers during the coming winter that it will be better that we should defer asking you to give us an address until some future season.

I quite agree with you that discussion after the lectures will be necessary: or at least advisable = but such discussions are less valuable than they might be, owing to the fact that the men who rise & speak are often such as the audience least cares to listen to! —

Believe me | yrs faithfully | George Dixon¹ [signature]
