Description: Letter to editor in Yorkshire Evening Post from T.R. Dawes, Moore's headmaster at Castleford Secondary School, responding to 0009454. Clarifies relationship to Alice Gostick, mentions LH X8 Roll of Honour c.1915, CGM X2 Narayana and Bhataryan c.1915, Moore's early work in pottery. "...while we at the Secondary School grudge no share in Mr. Moore’s success to the elementary school from which he came to us with a County Minor Scholarship, we don’t want to lose any glory that falls on us here, reflected from Mr. Moore’s association with this school"; "I see that among those who buy Moore’s work are Professor Rothenstein, Hugh Walpole and Augustus John. So it looks as if the things we possess here will be of value, such as the War Honours Board (Moore’s first commission), bits of peasant pottery (for Moore was a keen painter of pots), and, lastly, his play, full of Eastern colour, which he produced here and later in Chelsea."
