[Stanley Baldwin]

30. March 1932.

Privy Council Office, Whitehall, S.W.

My dear John,

You are a miracle! How you do it, I don't know. I read your Carson coming down here and finished it in a sitting. I enjoyed it particularly because your spectacles are mine.

From my earliest youth I always regard Brutus as one of the prize hypocrites and dirtiest dogs, of history.

A pestilential recurring type.

And I gather that view is not far from yours.

Thank you.

Ever yours

S.B.
