My Dear Buchan

Many thanks for you note which reaches me during the preparations for a General Election. I have literally no free moment for the small task you mention.

Why not try Roderick

Jones who has ample first hand information on General Botha.

With best Christmas wishes

Yrs sincerely

J.C. Smuts
