The letter is unsigned. Next day Meynell replied to it, addressing BR (document .133914, record 116143) and his concerns in this letter, including "choos[ing] not to read letters" from Dora.

BR encloses a letter from Kate (not present). "The letter by itself would not have been quite conclusive, but on receiving it I wrote at once to her and John, saying would they telegraph if they wished to go to Dora first, but if they wished to come first they need not to do anything. They did not telegraph."

BR tells Meynell he tried telephoning him without success, and also returns Dora's letter (not present) which Meynell enclosed in his last letter. "I do not choose to read letters from her."
