Dear Mr. Buchan

According to promise or threat as the sequel may show, here is a copy of my opus. I hope you will find something interesting in it and not too many errors.

If you can recommend it to any of your classical friends and so help me to reduce the quantity of this drug on the market, you will do me a favour.

If in reading it, you find it a credit to our common University, the favour will be much increased. In any event, I shall take great

pleasure in thinking it finds a place in your library, and I send it with great respect to a very distinguished alumnus of our University.

Kindest regards Yours very sincerely , William A. Edward

[To] John Buchan, Esq., M.P. Elsfield Manor, Oxford
