Notebook used from other side in for draft letter from Trevelyan to the appeal tribunal [1918] explaining that his objection to serving in the war is a moral obligation and not a political objection, and that he has been placed in the wrong grade for physical fitness since his back weakness prevent him from performing agricultural work and Dr Bruce Roxburgh has tested his eyes and said they are much below the required standard; would have appealed against his grading but did not now this was possible until it was too late.
