Meynell writes to BR regarding two outstanding matters. The first is John and Kate's clothing at Telegraph House, which Dora requests to have sent to her, as she needs them for her younger children.

The second is "... the question of the special expenditure of £35 on the children's initial Dartington outfits. Dora has asked us to arbitrate about this and I presume that you have no objection since it is precisely to deal with difficulties of this kind that the arbitrators were appointed." Meynell and Lloyd feel that Dora and BR should each pay half the cost.
