Taplow Court, Taplow, Bucks. July 29th. 1919. Dear Colonel Buchan Lady Kitty Somerset was staying with us here last Sunday and I showed her your beautiful account of Basil Blackwood, who was a great friend of hers. She was enthusiastic about it, and wondered if she possibly could by any means be allowed a copy of the book to keep, but I know how very private it is, and I expect that it is very unlikely that there is a copy left, but I feel quite certain that you will not mind my asking you? Although indeed I fear that you must

have been inundated by similar petitions. Yours very sincerely, Ethel Desborough [ST - Lady Desborough]
