Many thanks for replying.
  I've been searching for a copy of this book for years!!!!!
I never could buy a copy.
(I am a French translator of works by J. M. Barrie, owner of the French 
website http://www.sirjmbarrie.com, and currently writing a biography of 
J.M.B.)
If you could photocopy the text for me, then I would be more than 
grateful! Of course, I will give refund you for the cost of photocopies 
and postage with an extra.
I've already tried Google Books... As far as I know, there is no 
reproduction of this piece in any book.
I will send you my mailing address offline.
You can't imagine how important it is for me.
Kind regards,
Céline
