1 27th You have got some rather
severe critics among your
Committee. Lady F wrote a
letter describing the present
chaos & wreckage, whereat
Gen N seemed amused. He said
there's nobody left but your
HQs you had better see that
they do you well, you'd better
put in for concertinas etc etc ! We did not give our funds
to be chucked away like that &
there is no reason for it. I think she feels put into
the shade by being put on as /of
packing Committee. Anyhow the
ice is pretty thin & Gen N not inclined 2 to be sympathetic because I suppose
Mrs N' is not boss. However luckily
PRs are accustomed to deal with
traps & trappers thanks to her
life with a wild b w . I wonder whether these
2, Gen N & Lord F know of
our contribution. It will be
a bit of a surprise if they do.
I should deal correspond with your battalion
& unit committees as much as possible
not with the Div' HQrs,tho'
the more you consult me, the
better I shall be pleased. I think you can keep the
peace with Lady R better than most
but she too is rather a tigress. I am not sure that Col McCammon
would not be a better person to advise
about the typewriter loan. WBS. WBSpender
