Feb.1.1902.

My dear Mrs Sewell,

I was glad to get your letter of Jan.10, and to know
that you had at least had time to look at the opening chapters
of my book. I entirely agree with you that if I were an
American I should shrink from writing the book. Because
for an American to have written this book would have been to
minister too much to your execllent Americans thinking too much
of themselves. But we are so much the greater sinner at the
present moment that it is worth while sacrificing the interests
of America to chastening the price of Briton. But of
course you are quite right - it is better to humanise the world
thank to Americanise it.

Alfred and Elaine are established in corfortable quarters
in High St. Wimbleton about ten minutes from our house. They have
the rooms once occupied by Mrs Ole Bull and Miss Noble who are
gone to India. I think it is much better that they should
learning housekeeping where they can be close to my wife who is
extremely devoted to Elaine.

Yours sincerely,
William
