Thanks to Hazel for unearthing this copy of a letter to “The Town Crier”, a Birmingham Socialist publication that was launched post WW1. Further details of The Town Crier can be found here – https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/305116912.pdf

I love the way in the first paragraph he refers to “My people having taken the magazine”. Pretentious? Or normal language? Intriguingly it reads very well indicating a level of intellectual rigour and personality that isn’t apparent without first hand evidence. Vive le education system!
