will "draw attention to the book" - agreeing
with you re its "importance" and "utility" etc.
Jas Ward & Salter praise it highly - differing
re the Bosanquet chapter, Ward being the one
to praise it - "every word".

Arthur Balfour wrote me a kind letter - finding
it "full of interest"

Many other favourable reviews have come in.
I am greatly obliged to you for speaking to the Times
editor.

I hope that you are well, and that your political prospects
are looking up. If I were in the country, and if
I could do any good by it, I would sit on any
of your platforms and even "speak"

If Mrs Caldwell knew I were writing, she would wish
to be remembered to you and to Mrs Buchan

With renewed thanks for your generous,
discriminating interest

Yours ever sincerely

William Caldwell
