Dear Woolf,

 

1 Thanks for postcard.

 

2 The C[olonial].o[ffice]. has approved the expenditure of £5000 a year out of the revenues of Kenya on an information bureau in London - the [1 word illeg.] I allude to on pp. 148 and 352. It ought to be attacked in Parliament.

 

3 Andrews seems to be seriously annoyed with me about something. I cannot imagine what. Can it be because you didnt [sic] send him

the copies he asked for? How many did you actually send him? Please let me know - on a postcard.

 

4 A parson friend tells me Ormsby Gore has read the book, and says it is out of date. It seems to be true enough that the annual budget has been made to balance.

 

5 I shall send in a day or two some new lists of people for sending circulars to.

 

Yours | Norman Leys [signature]
