WHITEHALL, S.W.

Dear Mr Buchan

It was a pleasure to me
to see you yesterday & to
hear you praise Haldane
- one of God's own -
"If there be any praise
- think on these things"
To think that the Press
sd. make money out of
characters & corpses, sd.
live like worms on
manure & from spite

[in palimpsest from left margin:]
Dalziel. The same men write in Times & D. Mail the
same tosh & lies - to think what my great
great grandfather who started the Times wd. think
if he were alive passes
my imagination!
Come to tea next week please
Yrs in sincerity
