Transcription:
Tibberton Court Gloucester. Dear Mr. Scott, I am now hoping to leave England about the middle of next month, and as you said you thought the “Manchester Guardian” would be able to receive some articles from me from Russia, I wonder if you could give me a letter describing me as your Special Correspondent like you did last year when I was in Turkey? I think I shall be able to send you home something interesting every now and then, and as I see that Turkey has joined the war, I should probably get down into the Caucasus and try {to} see something interesting there, as I know that country very well. Could you make out a paper for me describing me as the Special Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian in French, so that Russian officials would be better able to understand it; and might I have two copies? I am very sorry that Turkey has joined the war, but I very much feared that she would be drawn in. Yours sincerely M. Philips Price. P.S. I should of course write very guardedly, & (____?) up my real opinions, whatever they might be, for I am aware of powers of the Censor these days M.P.P.
