Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

With printed pamphlet. Letter is one page, 12mo, tipped on to page extracted from personal album of Arthur Poyser, trimmed to fit a plastic envelope, with a small nick not affecting text, illustrating his career with the City of London Boy Scouts and the Boy Players (album offered separately). Buchan is only free for luncheon on the Wednesday but would be happy to discuss "the book" [the first "Scouts' Song Book" published in 1912) with him then. Poyser has added a few lines of explanation, about where the luncheon took place and its subject "the Song Book Of the Scout Movement, compiled and edited by AP [Arthur Poyser]". Presumably Buchan declined to contribute. WITH; Printed pamphlet entitled "John Buchan. Some Recollections" [by Arthur Poyser] (offprint of article published in the "Stirling Sentinel", February 20, 1940), 4pp., 8vo, tipped on to the verso of the page extracted from personal album of Arthur Poyser referred to above, some folding of margin but item mainly good. Poyser adds in MS under item, "An Appreciation of John Buchan, by AP [Arthur Poyser], written shortly after tyhe announcement of his death while Governor General of Canada; Lord Tweedsmuir." He discusses showing the Scout songbook to Buchan seekinhg his opinions which Buchan gave with reminiscences. At another meeting they encountered at a Drapers Hall Dinner where Poyser's Boy Players performed some of the songs they had discussed years before. The final meeting involved a speech by Buchan, then becoming frail, at Poyser's University (Edinburgh), encouraging students to think of life as a pilgrimage.
