My dear Whittemore

1, Bardwell Road, Oxford

14. XII. 38

I hope you have seen Runciman and either Malcolm MacDonald or Lord Harlech.

The Oxford friend I mentioned, who sails Saturday – perhaps on your ship – is Sir David Ross – Provost of Oriel & President of British Academy – who will be in N. Y. during Jan. at the Depart. of Philosophy – Columbia University.

If you had a chance of ascertaining whether Bay Fethi Okyar w[ould] be interested, please put « O-K » on this postcard. If he showed no interest, I will not bother him.

At the British Academy luncheon, yesterday, several of your friends wanted to see you but I doubt if they all succeeded !

With kindest regards from my wife

Yours very sincerely W[illiam] H[epburn] Buckler

Barbara is delighted with the carnelians, & will write herself.

Bon Voyage.
