BUCKINGHAM PALAC E

11th. October, 1922.

My dear Buchan ,
I have received and laid before the
King the 4th. and last volume of your History
of the War, for which His Majesty thanks you
sincerely and congratulates you upon your
great achievement.

It must, as you say, have been a
tremendous grind: but your fellow-countrymen
will be grateful to you for your labours .

Hoping we may meet before long at the
Club,

Yours very sincerely,
Stamfordham

John Buchan Esq.,
Elsfield Manor,
Oxford.
