Mr Williams writes returning Lord Burton's letter and further writes that he agrees that SCC should see Sir Oswald Mosley concerning standing for Parliament. He also writes concerning Sir H Meysey-Thompson who, in his own words "does not care for politics except for what he can get out of them for himself" and of his blatant and unapologetic request of "a peerage or the promise of office under the next Unionist Government" in return for his financial aid. Sent from: 81 St Ermin's Mansions, London. Letter is marked "private".
