Dear Mr Buchan

Thank you for your letter, I am glad to have been the means of throwing light on "the little silver box" which once contained so noble a heart. On reading your romantic account of the hero's last days I at once recalled vague recollections of what I had heard from the Johnston's about their precious relic; the only one of the family left who would be likely

to know anything of the family legends is Mrs Hedworth Williamson as I wrote to my cousin Miss Tannahill, she I think inherited a good deal from her father's wonderful old sisters who were a store- house of family lore.

If you are near Bath I am sure it would interest you to call on Mrs Williamson at Corsham, only 8 miles from Bath, she is a collector & interested in all byegone days.

Montrose has always

been a hero of mine, perhaps inspired by "The Wizard of the North" & curiously enough picked up a brand new copy of your most delightful book on a bookstall at Nice!

Sincerely your's

Caroline A Bradstreet
