Lambeth Palace. S.E.
29th April 1927.
My dear Buchan,
I am most grateful to you for the volume of "Homilies and Recreations". Somehow or other I do not think I had seen it, and I am already impressed by what I see in the glimpse I have given through its pages. I shall read every word of it, and I thank you cordially for sending it.
On Tuesday night you left the meeting before I had opportunity of telling you how deeply I appreciated your striking speech with its frank recognition of the Christian claim. I do greatly hope that it will be properly reported somewhere instead of being ignored as the "Times '' ignored it, for I am certain that it will do great good.
Those stupid interruptions at that meeting had no real importance beyond the evidence that the thing was a pre-concerted plan and therefore emanating from some source outside the meeting. I have had apologetic letters from people who had nothing to do with it like Bishop Knox, Thomas Inskip, and some others.
If I were writing this to-morrow I should I hope be able to put M.P. after your name, but it would perhaps be tempting Providence to do it yet.
I am
Yours very truly,
[ST: Archbishop] Randall Cantuar
