Professor Gilbert Murray, Board of Education, Sth Kensington, S.W.

My dear Murray,

Can you tell me what has happened between you and the Foreign Office. I have heard a stupid story that they have taken exception to your "New York Times" message and are inclined to be against your going to America.

I need not tell you how much I should regret this if it were true. Can you let me know what has happened?

Yours ever,

John Buchan
