[stamp- FOREIGN OFFICE and coat of arms]
[typewritten] FOREIGN OFFICE, May 18th, 1917.
[strikethrough] Dear Professor [/strikethrough] [handwritten] My dear [typewritten] Murray,
We have received a telegram from the British Embassy at Washington, pointing out to us the good effect that would result upon American opinion if you could see your way amid the pressure of other work to grant an interview upon schools and the war time problems of education. Other subjects which might valuably come into the interview would be educational work amongst soldiers in camp and at the front by means of lectures and text books.
If you could be so kind as to give this interview we would send it out to the United States to be given to an important News Service there.
Yours sincerely, [signature] John Buchan
[typewritten] Professor Gilbert Murray, Litt.D., Board of Education, Whitehall, S.W. l.
