Scope and Content

Correspondence with Frank Arthur Swinnerton (1884-1982), writer and publisher's reader, relating to discussion of a light-hearted request by Swinnerton and Geoffrey Whitworth, founder of the British Drama League, that corrective notes made by Scott in the Manchester Guardian should give Scott's role title in full, as it is more aesthetically pleasing. Also included is a request for an increase in payment for book reviews by Swinnerton for the paper, which is granted.
