My Dear Buchan,

I hope you will accept this copy of my "Beowulf." Needless to say, it is not what it should be in many places, but I could do no better at the time. Jack and Grierson both think well of my way of doing it, and Gordon Bottomley is quite enthusiastic. At some odd moment you may like to dig into it, and rejoice to see the kind of man you care for held up to our admiration.

I see by the newspapers you have been spending many strenuous days in the West and South, and addressing bumper meetings.

My kind regards to Mrs. Buchan & yourself,

Yours sincerely,

D. H. Crawford.

P.S. If at any time you shd. want to see my rendering of "Maldon", please let me know.
