Dear Mr Buchan, -

I feel impelled to write a line to thank you for the cordiality of your welcome to your beautiful house. I felt much diffidence in claiming an old acquaintance, & was correspondingly pleased to find that you had not forgotten your visit here.

In the post awaiting my return I found a letter from Thruston - of whose brother I spoke when recalling old times in Uganda. - He is now there on a trip in which he wanted

me to accompany him. I thought it would encourage your son to hear what he has to say about the Civic Staff in Uganda. Thruston 'more suo' assures me that they remember me in Uganda, - if that is so I hope your son will tell them that we are friends & have talked together of Uganda. Do not trouble to reply & put Thruston's letter in the waste-paper basket.

Sincerely yours

Lugard

[ST: Lord Lugard]
