Bilainkin details the history of Lynne's case and BR's involvement. He asks "what ended his efforts on my child's behalf, and, if he will not put the record right, by writing a plea in terms to be agreed ... for a public inquiry into the child's grim example of justice gone crazy."

Bilainkin encloses a letter to the editor of a publication that explains the history of his case.

A note in Edith Russell's handwriting on the envelope says: "Not to be answered—facts misunderstood by him, but there is no way of making him understand. This letter is preceded by a long correspondence over years."
