My dear Mr Buchan,

You could not have given me
a more acceptable Christmas present.
I am delighted to possess "The Northern
Muse", & also The Three Hostages wh.
I look forward to being thrilled by,
I hear it is impossible to put it
down. & I am so proud to have
these two books from the author,
thank you most gratefully. _
How good of you to say you
miss the weekly letters & the 'Minto' work
