Scope and content
71 St George Sq., Belgravia South. - The enclosed papers (no longer present) are subscribed by his 'cousin Henniker', whom Houghton will know as M.P. for East Suffolk, and will show Houghton that Harcourt is keen to become a member of the Whittington Club, and possibly also of putting his wife's name down. The Club is "a convenient house of call between ourselves and the City. Since Houghton is a Trustee of the United Arts [?] Club, he will be able to vouch for Harcourt; he knows him also from the House of Commons. Hopes therefore that Houghton will be one of the 'two known respectable persons' who will speak for him.
