Scott says he sees Price is stated in 'The Labour Who's Who' in 1924 as a correspondent for the 'Manchester Guardian'. Scott goes on to say that [Price] was never a regularly appointed correspondent' and would be better described as an occasional contributor to "Manchester Guardian" and asks that this be corrected in the next issue.

Transcription:

Dear Sir, I see Mr. Philips Price is stated in “The labour Who’s Who for 1924” to have been “correspondent for the “Manchester Guardian” in Russia, 1914-18”. During those years Mr. Price, who was travelling in Russia and the Near East, contributed occasional letters and telegrams but he never was a regularly appointed correspondent, and after we learned that he had joined the Bolsheviks he ceased to correspond for us at all. As he is principally known in this connection the description as it stands is both inexact and misleading. There would be no objection to his being described as an “occasional con-tributor to “Manchester Guardian” during the years in question from Russia and the Near East. I shall be glad if you will make this correction in the next issue of “The labour Who’s Who”. Yours very truly, (sgd.) CP Scott. The Editor, “The Labour Who’s Who”.
