IN ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE MOST SENSIBLE COURSE MAY BE
TO TREAT DR STERRER'S LETTER AS AT LEAST HAVING ENOUGH OF THE
ELEMENTS OF A PETITION TO WARRANT FURTHER STUDY, DESPITE STEWART'S 60) 19 JULY LETTER TO LLOYD. IF NECESSARY THEREFORE I PROPOSE WITHOUT
DISCLOSING DETAILS OF IT, TO ANNOUNCE, AFTER THE PRIVY COUNCIL DECISION IS KNOWN, THAT FURTHER ACTION MUST AWAIT THE SECRETARY
OF STATE'S CONSIDERATION OF AN APPROACH TO HER MAJESTY FOR
CLEMENCY.
