Dear Mrs Buchan,
I enclose 3 letters of introduction & hope they may be of use. I have not given you many because I remember you told me you knew the Lowthers [ST: the British Ambassador], & that being the case you will have no difficulty in finding anyone you want to meet.
One I have given you is to Mr Fitzmaurice at the

Embassy - a great friend of mine - who knows more of the Middle East than probably any man alive - If you can get him out of his shell to talk he is worth listening to. Another to Ferid Pasha an amiable westernised Turk brother in law of the late exSultan who has a nice house up the Bosphorus and is interesting only as a study of modern

day Turks. The third is to Lady Woods who you are sure to see. I hope Fitzmaurice will have time to show you a little of the many places I am so fond of - certain parts of the walls - the Fener which is wonderful in its associations Adrianople Gate &c
I envy you more than words can say - I wonder how long I can bear this place!
Yours sincerely
George Lloyd [ST: Lord Lloyd]
