have been commissioned by Messrs. Hutchin- son to write the

biography of the late Sir John Squire, in which task I am receiving the active sup- port of his family and literary executor.

I should welcome, even more personal reminiscences from his many friends and large circle of acquaintances.--Yours faithfully, PAT RICK. HOWARTH
