Dear Mr Buchan

I have been reading yr.
"Montrose" with real delight
(at its spirit & élan)
- very slowly & wanting to ask you
questions on almost every
page. I was brought
up at the feet of Mark Napier,
in my ten years of The
Parliament House 1860-70
- the dear old untrustworthy
prejudiced fellow!
