3, PALACE GATE, W.

28 Feb [1919]

My dear Lu,

I have looked in to see Con^[1] but find her out – your maid is making me some tea.

I saw Sir Charles^[2] yesterday & had a long chat with him. He still feels that it is better not to force the pace in regard to hearing of Phils case – If it is heard before peace is signed & goes against him, P would then be an alien and would be rigorously interned, if not deported & for this reason alone as well as others it is perhaps best that the case should not be heard till peace is signed –

He will try to arrange for Sir J. S.^[3] to call in some day to see P. on his way motoring to London from Oxford, where he has a house –

Shorthand notes of the evidence at the investigation will be taken –

These are all the points you asked me to enquire upon –

I hear today from Ben that the decision in Schroeders^[4] case was given two days ago – he is not denaturalized & the same decision has been given in the case of his manager – Milltehausen or some such name –

This is all to the good –

I wish I could have seen you again but I have to get off home tomorrow.

Yr affect brother

Howard
