I append a few notes of 'errata' which you may be glad to note for
future editions. It's better that way than noting them in a review.
I am unaware of whether you knew Laurier personally but you have
summed up his character extraordinarily well though probably some
of his political friends might not think so.

Two days ago Lord Byng came into my office for a chat as he sometimes
does, and we discussed Minto. It was he who made the remark which I have
quoted - A Governor-General should not emphasise the 'Governor' or
the 'General'. Coming from him I thought it particularly neat and told
him I felt disposed to use it. He thought that coming after
Lansdowne and being succeeded by Grey had rather prevented Minto
getting his proper recognition and I gathered that he thought you
had given it. I knew Grey pretty well and liked him, but he was
often not sound in judgment and prone to go off at half-cock though
full of enthusiasm and imagination. Minto I should say was an abler
man, though perhaps I cannot judge. I have been writing this
column for a year now and rather like the work and hope I shall be
able to preserve my anonymity, though it is not easy to do so in
a place like Ottawa. I ventured to send my review of "The Little French
Girl" to Mrs de Selincourt and trust she may like it. You and your wife
must come again some day to Canada. What a sweep for Baldwin!

With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Burrell
