Dear Dr Wallace

The hunt for Lope’3s ghost story does not reveal much. Cunninghame Graham4 just sent me the enclosed letter & card from Fitzmaurice Kelly5 & I send the letter because of the interesting criticism of Borrow6 it contains. Will you let me have the letter [2] back as it has to be returned to Graham?

I am | Yours very truly | W. H. Hudson7[signature]8 ,9
