Transcription:

Sutgrove, Tuffley, Gloucester. Dear Mr. Reade, Thank you for the correspondence which you have sent me and which I return concerning my connection with the Manchester Guardian. Apparently Mr. Scott regards as a newspaper correspondent only one who has a fixed salary on the staff of the paper. Under this interpretation I was certainly not their correspondent in Russia. But in that case it is remarkable that he printed over my communications “From our special correspondent in Russia”, “From our own correspondent” and other descriptions which are also applied to salaried correspondents. If he only regarded me as an occasional correspondent, he ought to have printed over my communications “From a correspondent” or “From an occasional correspondent”. The fact is they were very glad to have me for their regular correspondent for a time because they knew that I was the only person who could get them certain information and I remember receiving urgent wires from Mr. Scott sending me money for telegrams and expenses. Then after it was all over, like in the case of many of their correspondents whom I know, they chucked me over on the plea that I was supposed to have been “bought by the Bolsheviks”. Yours fraternally, M. Philips Price. Ps. I have no objection to your sending this to Mr. Scott.
