Dear Mr Buchan

Thank you so much for John Macnab. I enjoyed reading it very much, especially as I had to stay in bed today. I enjoyed going up to Eton very much although the exams were not so much fun. We are rather overun with mice at present as mine have had ten babies. I have made vigorous endeavours to dispose of them. It seems very difficult to do this but at last I have got offers for eight of them. When we were at Eton, we tried to see Johnny, but he was

not to be found.

Yours sincerely

Christopher Hartley
