Carlton House Terrace, Pall Mall, London, S.W. z(th October 1921. My dear Harding Cox, You ask me to write a Foreword to your Reminiscences, but I fear I have so little literary talent that 1should only disgrace the production. But I am sure your Reminiscences will be most interesting, for nobody has a greater experience in all the sports of the world than you have, and whether you are the champion of the lot or not is, to my mind, a very small point. It is the interest people take and their insight into the various branches that count, rather than what they do themselves; and certainly you have always taken an advanced position in that from your early days of Terriers at the Crystal Palace to riding in the Polo Pony Races at Hurlingham, and under Jockey Club and National Hunt rules. Wishing you all the best of luck, Believe me, Yours very truly, LONSDALE. (S igned.
