Has worked hard to induce his son Piero to accept Mussolini's invitation, but Piero is insistent that his article in the Manchester Guardian special supplement is a 'pure and simple exposition of figures and facts, publically known and not proven wrong, that he has nothing to correct and nothing to add' and therefore will not write another article.

All letters written from Bowood, Calne, Wiltshire. They concern a visit from Cockerell to Lansdowne, the early rental of the Lord of Lixnaw [Kerry] on which Lansdowne published a piece in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Aug. 1931, and the disposal of surplus copies of Lansdowne's Roxburghe Club book.

Also found with the book was a newscutting from the Daily Telegraph, 7 Jul. 1972, of an article by Robert Bedlow: 'Multi-hulls have chance to win Atlantic race'. Presumably saved by Piero Sraffa.
