The Chancery summons have been adjourned until 18 July.

Davies writes, "Yesterday I said to Maw that I had heard that Dora's answer was that Helm was a wicked homosexualist and we wondered whether Dora had discovered it just at the moment when she sacked Helm on suspicion that he had been telling on her: Maw seemed uncomfortable and half denied it mutteringly."

Davies tells BR to be happy that they are in a position that they will not want to go on with the Chancery proceedings. "What we have done has effected its object, destroying the danger of Dora getting any order as to custody in connection with her divorce petition."

Davies expresses that his feelings were that BR came out on top "... without having had to face the horrors of a bitter contest which would never have reached an end, and with the advantage of carrying the neutrals with you and securing them as buffers or solvents of future troubles, and having scotched if not killed Dora's power to misrepresent you to friends, and above all saved the children (and Peter knows I think of her too) from undeserved suffering."
