BR tells Davies, re his proposed letter to Maw, that at the end a sentence should be inserted more or less stating that BR is not dead set on Dartington. However, he wishes to have a decision made quickly, so should Dora object to Dartington with another school in mind BR will look into it. "She suggested Switzerland before, but I cannot agree to anything on the Continent." BR tells Davies he has signed the cheque for the children's school fees.

BR thanks Davies for a clipping re Dora.
