It's a delight to see such erudite correspondence. I think it's wonderful that GBS took the time to craft superb sentences even in his letters of rejection to pestering publishers!

I love the final line "dismiss the matter from my heavily overburdened consideration" from Mr. Shaw's 1924 letter to your grandfather that I would love to use when the opportunity arises. Thank you for sharing these with us. :) How wonderful that you were able to find these in such good order.
