JDH does not agree with HF's overzealous critique of a mistake by CL. Comments on the character of HF: a Scotsman JDH knows from India. JDH thinks the geology of the Suffolk valleys should be examined, suspects they are tidal not fluvial. JDH will send birds to Mr Smythe when Gunn provides the address.
