My Dear John,

You will probably have heard from the robe makers offering to hire out a gown for the L.L.D.ing. If not, their address is

James Thomson & Son 189 West George Street Glasgow.

You made me Mr Sitfast last night and deprived me of some hours sleep. but the story is admirable and full of life. I saw a review somewhere which reminded me of the Irish Bishop's

remark when Gulliver's Travels came out,

"For myself, I dont believe one half of it."

Congratulations on a rattling good tale.

Ever yours

Robert S. Rait
