Typed Letter Signed John Buchan to V. T. Harlow
thanking him for his letter and saying that he thinks it is quite right that Weiss should begin his work under the official cognisance of the Bodleian, and I hope Craster will get hold of him at once. I think the idea of your bringing Dudley North to Rhodes House to inspect the collection a very good one..., 1 side 4to., Elsfield Manor, Oxford, 26th October
