TURVILLE PARK, HENLEY ON THAMES.
Sept. 7. 1913.
My dear John,
"Montrose" is admirable and I am saying so in the Spectator and elsewhere. I have read it with real pleasure and that is no small thing for a man to say who has read it all so often and written it down too often. I don't quite agree on a few points but we must discuss them when we meet. You have got the man and the

times and where the devil you got the leisure to amass all that store of knowledge is more than I can guess.
Will you let me say, too, how much I admire the dedicatory poem? It is worthy of your brother and he was worthy of it. I have a very happy recollection of him about 1900 - 1902 and I can understand what a sorrow it must have been.
We leave here for Glasgow tomorrow and are to stay with the Principal until we get into 31, Lilybank Gardens. The children

are to stay on here with their uncle (John Bridge) until we are ready for them, and the animals are boarded out at Oxford!
I see you have written a life of Lord Ardwall. I wish The Spectator would give me a chance of saying something about it.
Ever yours
Robert S. Rait.
