"I am, quite improperly, sending you a copy of Lord Russell's letter today to Madams, because I know you are anxious to make the parting with him as easy as possible.... Both Lord and Lady Russell are greatly heartened by this addition to your other services, which you can be sure is a great vote of confidence in you."

There is no copy of BR's letter in Archives 1 or 2 and it is not extant here. H.E. Madams had worked for Percy A. Popkin & Co., but by 1966 it appears he had set up his own business.
