12mo, 2 pp. Twenty-eight lines of text. Good, on lightly-creased paper. Lockhart's signature has been docketed in ink (by Aitken?) 'Sir Robert'. A letter of condolence on the death of Aitken's father. Reminisces about the 'moment I came into his life', a 'luncheon at Charkley' soon after the First World War: 'The only other guest was Augustus John. [.] as you know, I learnt much from him. Indeed, it was he who taught me how to write, and in his house I met numerous people whom, but for him, I should never have known.' He considers that Beaverbrook treated him 'nobly'. He will keep the last letter he received from Beaverbrook: 'It was an original letter and, as you know, he always wanted originality in every writer and newspaper correspondent'. Beaverbrook was 'a very great and generous man' and Lockhart feels sure that his son 'will follow in his steps'. He hopes to see him, but is 'too old now to come often to London. I wish you a great future.'.
