WITHERS BENSONS BIRKETT & DAVIES HOWARD HOUSE 4, Arundel Street, Strand, London, W. C. 2. 30th November 1918
My dear Buchan, Your letter of yesterday's date overwhelms me. It is much too kind. I have only done a very little bit. I wish I could have done more. It has been a great pleasure to me, and my work has been made very easy by the assistance of the very kind friends whom I have met in the matter. The War is certainly over, but a lot remains to be done, and if an opportunity offers, I shall be only too willing to give similar help in the Public Service.
If you will let me say so, I think the Country owes you a very great debt. The hard work in the Ministry has been done by those who are not seen by the Public, and their long and unselfish devotion is greatly appreciated by those who know and have seen the true moving power.
I trust very much that we may meet in other spheres, particularly in the Mountains. Yours faithfully, John J. Withers Personal. John Buchan, Esq., Ministry of Information, W.C.2.
