CRANES HALL LATHOM ORMSKIRK. 26th Jan. 21. My dear Buchan. I have just finished reading your book of the Twins, & I feel I cannot help just telling you how much I liked it. There is so much in it to be admired, that every boy should be made to read it, so that he could see what real white men are like. Knowing the Twins as I did, it was of most acute interest to me. They were so lovable, & one only wishes we bred more like them in this poor old land. I must sincerely congratulate you on a charming book - worthy of the subject. I should very much like to meet you again some time, & shall hope to. Yours sincerely Reginald Barnes
