Together with: 93 words typed on one side of a 7 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide sheet of his bluish-gray personalized letterhead. Signed "Cyril Maude" with a 21-word postscript penned in his hand. There are 2 white stains & some light soiling to the top left corner of the letter & "C. Maude" is penciled in red by the recipient in the top right corner. Folded once for mailing. Very good.

In his April 30 letter, Maude replies to an April 15th, 1927 letter from American impresario James Pond [of which a carbon copy is included] in which Pond writes that he is coming to England and would like to further discuss the idea of Maude undertaking a lecture tour in America under his auspices. Maude writes: "I should love to welcome you here when you are in England. I can't make up my mind about that lecture tour!!!" Pond writes back on May 11, 1927 [carbon copy included] and suggests visiting Maude in June "with a friend of mine who is a great enthusiast in theatre". Maude replies in his typed letter of May 24 suggesting dates for the visit: "I might be able to put you both up for a night - but of that I am just a bit uncertain as I may have a houseful....I am very doubtful about that lecture tour this year - but I am open to persuasion!!" He writes in his P.S.: "In case I can't put you up that hotel in Dartmouth is The Raleigh but don't expect a Biltmore or Plaza!"
