My dear Buchan

I feel an awful beast for not having written before to thank you for "Montrose" but what with giving over one command on one day and taking over another on the next and then going to manoeuvres immediately I have not had time to call my soul my own. Thank you so much for it. He was a great man and I expect it is a great book. Raleigh was! I am just beginning it and know I shall enjoy it. We have not got a house yet but Mary is hard at work and we hope to get settled soon. We are living in rooms at

12A Curzon Street. Again thank you.

Best love to Susie

Yours ever

Francis Lloyd
