27th September, 1917.

Professor Gilbert Murray, Board of Education, Whitehall, S. W.

My dear Murray,

My secretary tells me that you have been speaking to him about the publication of your articles in "The Daily News". I think the best plan will be for you to have them published by some private publisher and get "The Daily News" and the Liberal Publication offices to help in their sale. It would certainly be a mistake, I think, to have them published by the Liberal Publication people, as that would give them too much a public party stamp. As I told you, a Tory like myself, in reading them, was not cognisant of any party atmosphere.

If they are published in English we shall be very glad to help in their circulation in America and elsewhere.

Yours ever,

John Buchan
