Giving the recipient's name as 'Glendining' twice Healy considers that if Lansbury would put a 'further question' to the Secretary for War on his behalf 'perhaps he will do something'. He continues: 'Did Mr. L. let you see the dossier they sent him - a sort of precise sic of your case. It was I think the Sec of State for War's summary to his Majesty. It was dead against you and rather unfair I thought. It was marked "private" and Lord Bentinck and I got other copies. The non-delivery of papers is not much help to your case I fear - I mean letters dealing with that aspect.' He concludes by saying that he is 'surprised at the result of the Welsh inquiry for I thought he meant to do justice to you. Evidently the forces within his department were stronger than he.'

He thanks him for sending for his 'inspection the old watch which is a nice specimen' but would have been of more interest had it been left in its original condition'.
