*** There is not a great deal of information available concerning H.A. Rappaport, though he does appear to have been an early and avid fan of Waugh's. In a letter dated 9th January 1954, Waugh writes to a Mr Rappaport declining his offer of a first edition of Mr. Loveday and mentioning that he is unable to send the recipient a photograph of him: "I am afraid I don't possess one. I can assure you that it will be no 'decoration' to your house. I am dead plain."
