CHERKLEY, LEATHERHEAD, SURREY.

21 July 1919

My dear John I came back from New York to find your book waiting for me as a pleasant surprise. This type of sketch always seems to me one of the most difficult things in the world to do, and you have overcome the difficulties with great skill. I particularly liked the essay on Raymond Asquith -

but what a pity if, as you say, his letters can never be published, for the extracts are tantalising. I had a very pleasant trip to Canada and the States and enjoyed my home visit to New Brunswick best of all. However, I'm quite glad to be back.

Hoping to see you soon.

Yours faithfully Max [ST - Beaverbrook]
