Elsfield Manor, Oxford.

11th April, 1935.

The Rt Honble Sir Herbert Samuel, M.P .,
House of Commons, S.W.

My warmest thanks for your kind letter of congratulations.
You know how deeply I value them. Since I was asked for
by both the Prime Minister and the leader of the Opposition in
Canada, I felt I could scarcely refuse, but it will be a great
wrench leaving so many kind friends behind.

Yours ever,
John Buchan
