My dear Mr. Buchan

For many years I have enjoyed your books and we have the great honor to own a copy of your autographical edition of the History of the Great War - when I read this year your "Prince of Captivity", I knew that you had reached the pinnacle - Never as long as you live could you write anything greater than that, and the end of it is the most perfect thing I have ever read in all my life. If that is not the summing up of all Jesus taught us two thousand years ago, we will never find it - Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the inspiration and the courage you have given me to live, for dying, as you say is a very small matter.

Very sincerely yours

Ruth Burnett Thurber

Prince of Captivity
