BR encloses a letter about Maw's questions and asks Davies, should he see Maw, to ask if "... it would be worth while to offer Dora financial concessions in return for John and Kate not remaining at Beacon Hill School. If the proposal would merely enrage her then it is not worth making."

Re BR's will, BR notes that everything is all right, but the blanks must be filled in, and asks Davies to be the executor for now, as this will is temporary until BR marries Peter.
