A TELEGRAM TO CLAGUE OUTLINING THE COMMITTEE'S VIEWS.
4. 1 PERSONALLY FIND THE POINTS MADE UNCONVINCING AND DOUBT WHETHER SIR DOUGLAS WILL SUPPORT THEM. HOWEVER, AS GOTFRIED IS SEEKING SIR DOUGLAS' BLESSING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SITUATION WHICH I FIND NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT ALSO SLIGHTLY OFFENSIVE. IT MAY THEREFORE BE HELPFUL IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A WORD WITH SIR DOUGLAS IN LONDON BEFORE HE REPLIES TO GOTFRIED'S TELEGRAM,
5. AS REGARDS THE FOUR POINTS MADE I THINK THAT WE COULD MEET (A) AND WOULD JUDGE THAT H.R.H. WOULD BE WILLING, ON (B) YOU HAVE ALREADY A DINNER FOR ABOUT 58 PEOPLE ON THAT NIGHT.
I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE (C), AND HAVE NO STRONG VIEWS ON (D), BUT SIR DOUGLAS MAY WELL HAVE.
6. MY APOLOGIES FOR HAVING TO BOTHER YOU UNQUOTE ENDS.
