Is glad to have had the experience [of chairing the Committee]. Has been impressed by 'the wide knowledge, the public spirit and the broad outlook of the representatives of Greater London and their advisers'. Will be glad to be of assistance in the future. Copy.

Is enclosing a note on Clement Davies's work as Chairman of the Advisory Committee for London Regional Planning and of the London Planning Administration Committee.

Congratulations and thanks to Jessop on terminating his term of office as President.

Complain that F. H. Jessop, a former President of the Law Society, did not receive a knighthood in the New Year's Honours list.

Encloses copies of correspondence dealing with the election to the Vice-Presidency of the Law Society in 1953. Jessop was not granted a knighthood on conclusion of his term of office as President. Outlines Jessop's career and asks Clement Davies to make efforts on his behalf to secure recognition for him.

Encloses copies of correspondence from 1955 and 1956 relating to failure to award Jessop a Knighthood.

Hopes Clement Davies will see the Lord Chancellor on behalf of Jessop. 'It is easier to commit an injustice than to obtain redress'.

Has received two letters from recipient. Stresses nature of conditions in Africa. Has not been troubled by business affairs at all during his absence, nor have constituency problems been brought to his attention. 'It is left to you to be the only one who has written'. Outlines his record in the service of the Liberal Party from the General Election of 1900 onwards. Has never spoken on a Conservative platform, and has never quarrelled with Liberal leaders 'For your works I have a boundless admiration. For your judgement, none. For your methods, I often fear'. Criticizes recipient for his attitude during the 1929 General Election campaign. Defends his record in the House of Commons and his service on various commissions. 'And then you-you write me reams to lecture me-me on Democracy and Peace. It is not only insulting, but childish and babyish'. Is happy that Lord Davies should bring out a candidate in Montgomery. Criticizes recipient's attitudes and prejudices.

Considers Lord Davies' letters 'silly' and 'insulting'. Believes Davies is 'playing the dirty' in his absence by holding the Montgomery Liberal Caucus. 'I am tired of saving him from making an ass of himself ... I hate someone who has the morals of the anarchist and stabs one in the back'.

Believes Clement Davies's letter of 15 March 'somewhat reckless'. Never offered to serve in the National Government under MacDonald. 'I fear your effort to be kind to Ramsay MacDonald has led you astray'.

Text of a letter to the press [?drafted by Clement Davies and undated] alleging that a speech by Herbert Morrison to trade unionists at Lewisham was plagiarised from Clement Davies. 'This is not the first time that an ardent and powerful socialist, when in difficulties, has dared to borrow not merely phrases but whole paragraphs from the speeches of his Liberal adversary'.

Invitation to be the guest at the Annual Dinner of the Young Wales Association at the Hotel Russell, London, on 6 November.

Was sorry when Clement Davies 'deserted the law in order to protect industry' but is happy that he still takes an interest in the Law.

Is very anxious to make some contribution to the war effort, but not in the Home Guards. Has already held an appointment in 'Pay and Pensions' in India. Would like to be in a warm climate. Could Clement Davies help? Anticipates being at home with the family again.
