You, sir, draw such admirable maps in
several of your books ("John Macnab", for instance)
that I am sure you will not mind my
bothering you in this way. But maps in
any book that are not accurate in every
detail only confuse a reader who does not
"know his ground".

Yours very truly

Arthur Poyser

P.S. You may remember that I had the pleasure
of meeting you some years ago on the intro-
duction of "C.L.G." of Punch.

John Buchan Esq.
