I have begun to read out to my daughter the book and so I shall
taste his remarks better — when a book is well written I enjoy it
more reading it out. I shall like hr. haurice oetter 'thcn I ever did.

I knew him slightly — and never cared to see more of Jim — I learn
that I was wrong.

Kinglsey — I shall re—read. Je have a good Library here — and your
father has given me a fresh interest in his writings.

If you are good enou5h to write to me, do tell me if your Nether
still lives. . and your Sister?

I bitterly lament that I never knew your father..one must have
been some times in the same room. how excellent his account of Savage
