To John Henderson (1862-1938), Secretary of the National Liberal Club.
I: "[...] Would next Saturday be too sudden? I can think of nothing better, although I have two lectures to give on Saturday, & would rather appreciate an evening's rest beforehand. Still, as you say your room is a small one, I could take matters quietly in an address on 'Politics, Tory, Liberal & Working Class' [...]" (8 October 1890).
II: "I have just been reminded that the Chrystal Palace concerto begins next Saturday. This will make it very inconvenient for me to go to Harlesden [...]" (9 October 1890).
III: "No: if I were to add chairtaking to my platform activities, it would finish me altogether. Besides, it is very bad economy for the Circle to waste a star speaker on the chair. It is hard enough to get him one; and when you do, you had better get the whole evening out of him [...]" (20 December 1922).
Accompanied by a typed letter signed by Shaw's secretary, Blanche Patch.
