Many thanks for your letter of 21 June and for keeping me in the picture about Sir Percy Cradock's memoirs.

My only thought is that we should not try too hard to stop him publishing, although I agree you should seek the deletion of the two specific points to which you refer. If he is determined to behave badly, then so be it.

I have not read the book but I do not think the consequences of his publishing it could be any worse then what he has done so far. At all costs we must avoid being blamed for trying to gag him. For Percy to end up as the darling of the Freedom of Information Movement would be a little hard to take.

Jore.
