It reads 'My dear Percy...your name cropped up on Sunday last when a friend of mine, Ben D'Or (corrected in DW's hand to 'Bendor') Drummond, was here. He has recently acquired the famous old book shop of Bumpus and is entirely re-organizing it since, as you will probably know, it has done far from well during recent years in Baker Street. When discussing this project with Drummond I talked to him about you and the fact that, having run your own business, you have become a partner in Daulaws and Elkin Matthews and since the war have run your own business as an antiquarian book seller, mainly for the American market....it might be worth his while to approach you with some sort of arrangement by which you utilised his London shop to increase the output of your old books, and he seemed to think that the idea had possibilities...he wants to put in a temporary manager for two or three months, and he wondered if you would care to take on this job. I told him that from your many years' experience as a London bookseller, I had no doubt of your competence to do so, but it was a question of whether you cared for the idea...Drummond is the second of three brothers, descendants of the Drummond banking family, and he married a Miss Marshall Field, so he is a very rich young man and I think there is little doubt that the new Bumpus's will get adequate financial backing. However, he is not taking this on purely as a pastime. He seems really keen about developing a first-class book business and I shall watch the results with the greatest interest./Joan and I are off abroad on Monday for a few night in Venice, then down to Corfu and on to Rome, but we shall be back on the 15th May.
