Dear Mr Churchill, Your kind letter about the Albert Hall Meeting has been sent to all members of the Committee of the Indian Empire society. A Colonel Mansin writes to enquire if you would be so kind to speak at Bedford. His project has the support of the Mayor and they propose that Lord Ampthill should take the chair. Will you permit me to congratulate you on the marked effect of your Manchester and Toxteth speeches?

Ameer Ali Indian Civil Service, Retired W.
