Scope and content

The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Originally enclosing [Kenneth] Wright's letter, which is 'absolutely confidential'. Is himself a 'very bad judge of playing', but did wonder after Bessie left whether 'this young man is more than competent', with 'dozens' of others 'in England & on the Continent' equally so. Also wrote to the Belfast BBC, but they say they can do nothing without a recommendation from headquarters.
