[2] SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
Dear Friend,
Mr Crosoer[?] informs me that you asked him why i[sic] rote[sic] the first personal pronoun with a small letter. The English ar[?] the only pepl[sic] hoo[sic] spel[sic] it with a capital and this fact is significant as indicating the national caracter[sic] in which no 1 is alwais[sic] the first consideration.
Yours very truly | E A Phipson [signature]
