PITGAVENY ELGIN SCOTLAND

Dear "John Buchan"

I have as an Xmas card for you a 'photo of the famous Abinger cheque.

That I could send to your publishers but I also wish to send you a brace of pheasants. Will you kindly send me

an addressed label & I'll hang it on to the birds.

Not necessarily your own address if you'd rather send them to a friend.

Really I actually DID in my old age kill a stag or two this Autumn that ought to be alive. I'm not so chivalrous as of yore.
