Letter from Reginald Baliol Brett to Spencer Compton Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington

Mr Brett writes giving his support to SCC after what has been a challenging time concerning Egyptian policy. He recommends that Britain must hold on to Suakim as she has held on to Cairo rather than see the area fall into the hands of France or Germany. He finally writes that should the secret history of SCC's relations to the Government come to light, that SCC has no reason to be alarmed for his reputation. Sent from: 1 Tilney Street, London. Letter marked "private".
