My dear John,

I am happy indeed to possess a
copy of your "Sir Arthur", enhanced by your
inscription, I send you my best thanks for the gift,
to be added in a place of honour to my long
rows of "Buchans". I read out the first chapter to
Kitty last night & marvelled again at the perfect art
with which you have portrayed the Edinburgh of 1771.
I shall savour the rest of it in happy leisure hours
here. With gratitude to you for the gift & for having
written the book to give us all so much pleasure,

Yours ever,

Macmillan
