GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
BARBADOS.

My dear Buchan

It is a far cry to the
Johannesburg days when you were
on the great Lord M's staff and I
in the Police. I have watched yr.
career since with interest and read
many of your books. I have just finished
reading yr. Memoir of Francis & Rivers-
-dale Grenfell and if I may say so I
like best of all I have read of your writings.
You bring out so finely the lives of two
exceptional young men who ever
worked in a manly way to fit themselves
