Dear Mr. Buchan,
Here you are plagued again with this Strathcona House. You will be relieved to know, however, that all we want this time is your acceptrance of the enclosed brochure.
The project has been a great success. It is fulfilling the very functions for which it was established. We hope to have our debt all cleared by the end of March, thanks to the contribution from the Pilgrim Trust.
TheHouse is full. About one-third of them are men from overseas universities, and rather more than one third from Southern Universities, and rather more than one third from Aberdeen University. A very good mixture.
I wish to thank you for your encouragement, and also f or your assistance in getting us a grant from the Pilgrim Trust.
With kind regards and Best Wishes for the New Year,
Yours sincerely,
P.S. The brochure has been printed for members of the Club. The enclosed is one of a few specially bound for donors and others who assisted to get it established.
