 20th June, 1916. Dear Sir, I am requested by Mr. Herbert Samuel to say, in answer to your letter of the 16th instant, that as he is not likely to be in Dublin ggain in the near future and is unwilling to trouble you to come to London, he cannot arrange to see the deputation of which you speak. He is forwarding your letter to Sir Robert Chalmers at Dublin Castle. Yours faithfully, S.W.H John Simmons, Esq. S.W.H. Letter from S.W.H. to John Simmons, 20 June 1916
