"My dear Mr. Churchill
Your letter of 20th Nov. with some proof sheets of your 3rd Vol. reached me as I was leaving Scotland - Hence the delay in replying.
"As regards what you say re your criticisms on Loos, Somme & Passchendaele, I am only concerned in having the true facts given to our countrymen, and then let whoever chooses criticise! - So I am so bold as to send you herewith some Notes, or extracts from the Diary which I used to keep during the war, so that at any rate, before you start to criticise, you may have what we thought were the actual facts at the time, before you."
