"Dear Paul Motter, I am particularly pleased that you liked A Nest Of Tigers so much, as it got a mixed reception here. Some real Sitwell-haters came out of the woodwork and did their worst. At least I know that Osbert saw it before he died, and liked it very much." Followed by a paragraph on Lord Berners.
