My dear John,

Your letter gave me very great pleasure. It is the best
news I have heard for many a day that you are sleeping better.
You will want artificial help for some time yet, but I am perfectly
certain that you will slowly conquer your insomnia.

I will send you some more reading stuff at the end of
the week. Could you tell me if there is any special subject you
would like to take up, so as to occupy your mind, and I will see
that you get the proper material.

Don't, by any means, give up your hope of returning to
Egypt. Some arrangement can certainly be made when you get back
your health.

I have been having a terrible lot of speaking to do up
and down the country, but I am very well, and am looking forward
to having a little rest at Christmas.

Much love.

Yours affectionately
John Buchan
