Not my grandpa
From Mr David Gilmour Sir: By transforming a 'his' into a 'my' (Let- ters, 18 November), The Spectator suggests that Lord Curzon was my grandfather rather than Nicholas Mosley's. I would be quite proud if this were true, but the evi- dence suggests it is unlikely. The Great Man died in March 1925, 16 months before the birth of my father and two-and-a-half years before the birth of my mother.
