Dear Buchan,
It is splendid news to hear
that you make such good progress.
I venture to send enclosed which
will retard your recovery if you
read it ... I mean through the ex-
citement engendered.
I am probably soon sending
a minute on what might be
done to improve British policy to-
wards U.S.A.
Yours ever
Geoffrey G Butler
