[ST: Sir Robert Horne]

My dear John,

There is nothing like the friendly touch of a brother Scot when one is in tribulation. Alas I wish I had never been born! I am so tired & dead beat at the moment that

the effort to start out on a new task - & stupendous at that - is near breaking all the springs of my energy, and "a la lanterne" does not seem a very distant sound! But you encourage me and I send you my gratitude & blessings

Ever Yours

RS Horne
