Scope and content
"in the train, on the way to Romford [to see his brother Hubert?]". - Has seen [Edward Denison?] Ross 'about B', who told him 'in confidence the reasons why they could not keep B'; these had 'nothing to do with his nationality' and seemed 'perfectly adequate' to Waley. They were unable to tell B why they sacked him, as 'this would have put him on his guard'. Tells Trevelyan not to talk about this to B, and advises him 'not to take up the cudgels for him' since the authorities seem clearly to be 'justified in their view'. Does not think there is much chance of B. being called up 'under the circumstances'; asks Bob not to mention the matter to anyone.
