A chatty letter talking about finishing his next book which at the time could have been the comedy Buttercups and Daisies , what his next topic will be for the Sunday Times and meeting at the Savile Club. Sir Compton Mackenzie was a distinguished member of the London Gentlemen s Club. "Dear Mr. Rees: Many thanks for your note. I noticed the paragraph in the Sunday Times which has since been copied by many other papers. I shall be proud and delighted to write sometimes for the Sunday Times, and when I think of a suitable topic I will write and make a suggestion. I will write and ask the secretary at the Savile Club to put my name down under Ronald Scott, whom I thought a charming fellow. I may manage to get to London at the end of the month, but I am trying to finish a book and have been rather seedy lately so I may not manage it. All kind regards. Yours sincerely Compton Mackenzie" "Sir Compton Mackenzie is perhaps best known for two comic novels set in Scotland: Whisky Galore (1947) set in the Hebrides, and The Monarch of the Glen (1941) set in the Scottish Highlands. They were the sources of a successful film and a television series respectively".Wikipedia. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 32994
