My dear Colonel Buchan,

I am sending by this mail, in care of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company at Quebec, an inscribed copy of "Canadian Constitutional Studies", being a print of three 1ectures delivered at the University of Toronto three years ago; also two addresses delivered in recent years. That which is reprinted from the Yale Review embodies the principal part of an address before the American Historical Association in December, 1922.

I also venture to send a collection of pamphlets, in which are to be found speeches delivered during the War. My temerity in this respect may receive fitting punishment in their consignment to the wild Atlantic in the wake of the good ship Empress of France.

My Report on the Disarmament Conference at Washington is sent because it contains the most concise report of that Conference which I have hitherto found available. The principal part of it was drafted by my former Secretary, Mr. Loring C. Christie (now living in London), although I devoted a good deal of time to it. Sir John Jordan was good enough to send me a very appreciative letter after I had forwarded a copy to him, and the Belgians told me that they used this report as the basis of their own. However, my particular reason for sending it is the hope that you may be good enough to read Paragraphs 110 to 116, which are to be found at Pages 44 to 47.

Yours faithfully, R.L. Borden

Colonel John Buchan, c/o Canadian Pacific Rai lway Co., Quebec, P. Q.
