Davies tells he is "... considering the crux of the dual problem of divorce and care of children."

He tells BR, "I am not sure of a judicial decision to take the children from her and give them to you unconditionally; and any such move would destroy all prospect of divorce, which would distress me, having regard to Peter's unwillingness to have any children without it. If you had to choose between divorce and saving the children, I agree that you would have to choose the latter."

"I am asking Withers to get at the Duke about the packet of family letters." (Agatha's papers have gone to the Duke of Bedford, and apparently, up to some point, there was a packet of Amberley letters.)
