It is clear that Priestwood is not an ideal Crown

Advocate and that his post would be much better filled by

John McNeill, but I ask myself whether we have enough

evidence ( it seems to be all of the hearsay kind, on which to

give him the sack, which, as you will see from Phillips'

letter, would hit him very hard.

Frankly I should like to pass the baby to you!

You might discuss it with Blackburn who not only knows more

about Shanghai than anyone else, but is also immensely wise and completely fair. If I had him here now and could talk it

over with him. I should be able to send you a more helpful

letter.
