The four letters are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Each 1p., 12mo. The first three letters are written to Brooks, as editor of 'Truth'; the fourth is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. In the first letter (14 April 1945) he apologises for the delay in sending in a review: 'I have been two months out of the country and nothing could be forwarded.' He adds: 'I wish I saw more of Charles Webster. He is one of my very few surviving friends of Cambridge days.' The second letter (5 July 1945) begins: 'News has been so earthy of the earth lately that I think a good ghost story would thrill your readers'. He is enclosing 'a few lines of Introduction', and suggests that Brooks edits the story down. Postscript: 'Put his signature by all means.' The third letter (6 March 1948) congratulates Brooks on his book, and thanks him 'for Stefan Zweig which I will read & review next week'. The last (7 April 1959) is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. 'It recalls to me many visits to the offices of Turth. It was always a pride and a please to contribute to columns edited by Collin Brooks. Quid est veritas? will be his epitaph'. Accompanying the four letters is a Typed Letter Signed from Brooks to Leslie, 14 February 1945, on letterhead of "Truth" Buildings, Carteret Street, Quyeen Anne's Gate, London. (There is nothing to indicate that the letter is a copy.) He apologises for 'a breach of etiquette', sends a book to review ('To "Make the page" in any given week, reviews must reach me not later than the Monday this because we have now to print in the country.') He concludes with an enquiry after 'our common friend, C. K. Webster'.
