Dear Sir Arthur
We are making a special effort to bring the question of National Service to the front, and I am glad to say that I think we are making real headway at last.
We are organising a series of meetings, and I have promised to speak at several of them.
I need hardly say how pleased I should be to have you as an ally in my Campaign; and I should like to send one of my organisers to you, to give you a sketch of our plans, and proposed activities.
Will you please let meknow when and where it may be convenient for you to receive my organiser?.
- Yours very truly
- Roberts. FM [1]
