See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of brown paper mount adhering to the blank reverse of the second leaf. Folded twice for postage. Signed 'Spenser Wilkinson.' Begins: 'Dear Mr. Bryan, / I am glad to hear from you again, for you seemed lost. My wife went to Beauchamp Place long ago to call on Mr. Bryan but found that you had left & could not learn your address.' He accepts with pleasure the invitation to lunch with him and Colonel Durand, 'whose book I read with much interest'. (The book was 'The Making of a Frontier' by Colonel Algernon George Arnold Durand (1854-1923), who distinguished himself in the 1891 Hunza-Nagar Campaign.) He will also be glad 'a little latter [sic]' to 'repeat if you wish it the experiment of a talk to a room full of men'. He thinks the subject should be 'National Education, military & general', or 'On Educating the nation for war & other things.' He suggests they have 'a talk about that later on perhaps'.
