My Dear John,

On my way back from Italy I seized upon your new book in Brentanos. My congratulations. Hannay goes from better to better. How you can keep a man with such successes to his name from becoming overbearingly proud, I do not know. I have been having a marvellous time on Lake Garda

I return at the end of the week and leave almost at once for Scotland. I hope you have a wonderful time in America. My kind regards to Mrs Buchan.

Yours ever

Euan.

By the way one tiny slip I noticed on p 233. Loess is detritus. It is found in plains with narrow gullies, but never to my knowledge in great valleys.
