An Cala, Easdale, by Oban, Argyll.

Sept. 22 1932

My dear John Buchan

Here, at long last, steps forth The Treasurer-Depute into the XXth Century world! He was held up by one or two of the illustrations - particularly that of the "Muckle mou'd Meg" incident, which my friend Bathwick, P.R.S.W., was doing for me.

With the copy which I now send you please accept my most

grateful thanks for the very valuable advice, assistance and encouragement that you have given me all along, and for the very charming preface which will help exceedingly in the book's sale.

Yours ever,

Arthur Murray

We are having a wet September - very luckily, as April to August months were dry as a bone! Kindest remembrances to you both from my wife and self.

You'll like my nephew Hylton Murray-Philipson, who has got in for Twickenham- though you probably know him. He is really a somewhat remarkable young man.

Notices of Book to date - a nice one in "Glasgow Herald" and particularly nice one in "Aberdeen Press & Journal."
