[pencil] File 18 Histy of War

My dear Buchan

I have been enjoying some small illnesses which quite reminded me of old Glasgow days, and have employed my time with the greatest enjoyment and interest in reading your history of the War. It really is wonderfully

good. You seem to keep so close to the facts and treat the whole thing with a gravity & mellowness of judgement which is extraordinary in one writing so close to the events.

I wo'nt write more, as Heaven knows where you may be at this time on the road between Edinburgh & G.H.Q!

Ever yrs sincerely

Gilbert Murray
