My dear Mr Buchan

Your offer to read my book is extraordinarily kind and I shall most gratefully take advantage of it. There are still a few touches and readjustments needed, and it is better that I should actually make them than explain what they will be, before placing the Typescript in your hands. I will do this as soon as possible and then send the book to Elsfield.

I will only say - do not hesitate to condemn. I have tried to do a rather unusual thing, and shall not

be surprised if it turns out that I have overreached myself.

You speak of the book as a novel. You will see, when you read it, that it is not really that.

Yours very sincerely

L.P. Jacks
