but was held in the House of Commons as there were some important divisions on Finance. As I spend all my time urging the Government to re-arm – I feel I ought to be there to support their efforts to raise the money, and vote against [the?] Socialists who want us to make war all the time without the force to do it with!!

I hope to see you some day soon

Yours very [Sincerely?]

Roger Keyes
