My dear Lady Mary, [Murray]

You have realy treated me very badly. You never came to tea with me when you came up for our brother's wedding, although you promised. I hope you are all well. Mr Murray would be up in

Glasgow at the graduation ceremony. I hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather. I have been down on Dartmoor for about ten days staying with some people - fishing, sleeping out on the hill, and riding over the great boggy moors. It is a wonderful place - after Northumberland the cream of England. Now I am back again in town at work,

and rather busy.

Do you see that John Phillimore is getting married? - to the sister of a great friend of mine called Spencer-Smith. I am afraid the poor lady will hate Glasgow.

I have been to the Rivals at the Haymarket - a perfect performance; and also to Cyrano de Bergerac at Wyndham's, where a great lyrical play is travestied in the ugliest prose. But I liked Wyndham,

His Cyrano was intelligible, which is more than I found Coquelin's.

With love to the children

Yous very sincerely

John Buchan

I have not yet read Andromache, but I hear it is exceedingly good.
