Danzig, November 3rd 1934.

Dear Mr. Laski,

I thought my acknowledgement covered the memorandumwhich you so kindly sent to me. I have now received yourletter of the 29th October, and am interested as always.The "Den?.iger Echo" of to-dey's date publishes a note forthe first time with regard to the interview you mention,and I hope to meet the people more directly concerned at anearly date. I have an anpointment with some representativesfor Monday next, and they are the only representatives «hohave of themselves approached re

I am afraid there has been a mis Ù tide rstandic" i| youhave beenexpecting me to write comments on the situationto you. That, as you will understand, vould be quite im-possible.

I do not quite understand the last sentences of thethird paragraph of your letter, especial y the last line.The position is, of course, that any citizen has the fullright of presenting a formal petition to me at any timeon a question relating to the Constitution and any suchaction could not possibly in any way affect our purelypersonal relationship.

I should be much happier if I could feel justified inwriting to you as a personal friend, but you must not, pleeseexpect that in the circumstances. Letter writing in somecircumstances is as likely to lead to misunü£crä*anding asto clarification, but *tat I am sure will not hap-en in ourcase, end perhaps we may heve the pleasure of seeing eachother before long.

With kindest regards,

Yours very sincerely,

Neville Laski, Esq.,?»'oburn House,Upper Woburn Piece,L o n d o n. V.'. C. 1.
