Dear John

Your dear delightful exaggerations about the excellence of my book have given me the keenest pleasure. That's the way to write to your friends, if you have a heart of gold.

You're right about Nordic: I knew it all the while but could not think of another word. 'Northern' might be better.

O how we look forward to the 17th cent Scottish witch

story - for that I imagine is your promised gift to Mary is none other than that! Janet and I are looking forward immensely to July 24-6.

P.S. I'm so glad you say you generally agree with the views I express in my History. That too pleases me a lot. You, among others, have in the course of years taught me much - partially unwhipped me without wholly torifying me.
