and so on. But they simply will not get what is in my hands and depends
solely upon my own free decision to do with it what I want. The U.S.A.

And do not worry please, my dear Neill, about whether some bureaucrat

And I repeat, I am not willing to give it unless human liberty and
security of life and happiness are granted. I would stress and repeat what
Roosevelt said the other day, that the administrators of today are to be
the servants of the population and nothing else.

I have had a spell of not very good health. The Welsh air is not so
