      3.12.4 Informal letter to be sent by mail

      Dear Jim,
      In the next day or so you will receive a telephone call from Dmitri Dibrov of
Moscow. He is a very good friend of mine and as he is planning to be in Edinburgh
for a month or more, I gave him a letter of introduction to you.
      I know how busy you are, Jim, and I do not want you to regard this as an
obligation. But I feel certain that you will enjoy meeting Dmitri Dibrov and I am sure
that once you meet him, you will want to keep on seeing him! For Dmitri’s good
company anywhere - at golf, tennis or just talking.
      I hope you and Ellen are well and I look forward to seeing you on your visit to
London.
                                               Sincerely yours,
                                                           Richard Dawson.

     A mutual friend, Mr George Green, has advised me to get in touch with you.
     I am working on a thesis on English history of the seventeenth century. As you

Garden Hotel at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28th.

      3.13.2 Dear Stephen,

     This will introduce Sergei Petrov who is going to spend the winter in London
gathering material and doing research for a thesis. He plans to spend his days at the
British Museum Library and his evenings with congenial people. I told him I
know of no one more congenial than you!
     I am sure you will like Sergei and that you two will enjoy each other’s company
immensely. I do not need to tell you how much I shall personally appreciate any
courtesies you show him.
                                             Sincerely yours,
                                                                                   51
