[To the Editor of the "Spectator."]

Sir, — Americans give a generous welcome to good English novels. It is difficult for us sometimes to reciprocate, because their output is large and much of it passes us by. I happen to have read two of their books in succession, which seem to me to be on a very high level. The first is ''A Stepchild of the Moon'', by Fulton Oursler (Harpers). The second has the uncouth name of ''Teeftallow'', by T. S. Stribling, published by Nisbet. I have no axe to grind in the matter and no motive save to put two really good books under the notice of your readers. — I am, Sir, &c.,

Arthur Conan Doyle.
