THE SEIZIN PRESS
DEYA - MALLORCA- SPAIN

March 27 1935

Dear John

This evening I got a contract from Eliot
for my Claudius film: he mentioned that you
have approved it and I was on the point
of writing to thank you when I found in the
local Spanish paper a telegram saying that you
would probably be made the next Governor-General
of Canada, so that it is a great pleasure (if the
telegram is true) to be able to combine thanks and
congratulations. I think that it is a very good thing
for Canada. I have been following the Canadian
situation in the American press, and I think
that Susie and yourself between you will be able to
deal successfully with 'Mitch' Hepburn who seems to be
the chief trouble there. Really, I feel very happy about
