'Scouting for Boys' did not begin its serialized publication until January 1908, but Baden-Powell's entry in the Oxford DNB states that it was Haldane, as Secretary for War, who 'persuaded him that character training should be at the centre of any scheme of boy instruction', following a 'major inspection' of the Boys' Brigade by him as Vice-President at Glasgow in April 1904. 1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, with slight creasing and a short closed tear to one edge. Reads: 'Dictated. / 23rd. May 1906. / Dear General Baden-Powell, / Thank you for your letter. I have seen Sir Edwad Ward about your scheme, and he is to have a meeting with you. / Believe me, / Yours sincerely, / [cyclostyled signature] R. B. Haldane'. At the time of the letter Sir Edward Ward (1853-1928) was Permanent Under-Secretary at the War Office.
