I wish to ask a considerable favour of you

that you will obtain from Lond Milner his consent to write

even a very short introduction to a book which I have in

Crom Colonies. I do not pretend not to recognise with

what greater ease I shall obtain courteous assistance if

it is kno n that Lord Milner will associate himself with
