BR thanks Davies for his letter of the previous day and is curious about Bayford's scheme re divorce.

Regarding custody of John and Kate BR writes, "... I am not willing to acquiesce in any claim to sole custody on Dora's part, however much it may be said to be purely formal. I think she ought to agree in advance to equal rights.... Perhaps the question of custody can be argued separately, after the divorce."

"... Remember that for her to get sole custody would appear to me intolerable."
