Scope and content
Apologises for his slowness in replying to Young's letter due to the death of his brother-in-law. Regrets his move to Aberdeen but argues that his work in London had been "crumbling" because of the War. Mentions that his wife's sister will return north with them. Commiserates with Young but tells him one cannot always be thinking of the past. Refers to his father's improved state of health.
