Dear Geffrey

Conveyors of bed news were, very sensibly, once put to

death,so this is a last rotel

No doubt you are fully informed, but in case of interest I attach the latest clutch of cuttings from the 'establishment' S.C.E.P. (the Chinese Fres, is even more outspoken). Per curian I also take the liberty of teaching an exchange of letters between Colin Perrior and Eyself in relation to my person 1 situation (in c-se inductive) - it is, perh ps, a little ironic that, currently, Colin is ? centre of a storm of criticis ̈ (s per previous cutting), whereas I enjoy widespread support, from rank and file magistr-tes.

I venture to trouble you in thi

here is losing credibiliy, -lmost daily - it sects

wy because th... Lovernment

rbit-ry,stubborn get

capricious, and wrong bout so many matters from 3.2. P. to 11 this and this,nurely, must begin to rub off on hitchell s well as disappointing ble inl-aders. but you will know b st whether to cleanse the tom: le or not.

As ever,
