John Buchan, Esq., Elsfield Manor, 0 x f o r d.

Dear Mr John Buchan ,

It would not be possible for me to commence your letter by saying "Dear Mr Buchan" because, in my heart, I always speak of you as John Buchan.

I have never forgotten the meeting we had during the War as your personality impressed itself upon me very much and it is a great pleasure to me to know that you approve of what I have done in regard to the Advocates' Library

I was very pleased to help but, of course, money is only a secondary thing and what I feel is that Mr Macmillan is the great pillar and ought to get as much praise as anyone.

Kindly accept my high appreciation of your letter which I shall always keep.

With kindest regards,

Believe me,

Your very sincerely,

Alex Grant
