May I send a little book Lost Letters from Lesbos published in 1902?

John Buchan author of The Dancing Floor

My dear Sir (- or it may be Madame as women these days sometimes use a masculine name)

I am impelled to write a line to thank you for the most interesting novel I have ever read. You were certainly inspired and I suppose many have told you so - but one more can not keep saying it.

I am an old lady - married for 37 years to the one man - but I should like to know you.

Yours very cordially

Mrs Joseph A.) Lucy McDowell Milburn
