Sir Sam. Hughes to W.O.
21 September 1916.
Savoy Hotel, London.
Dear Sir William,
Your telegram, which came during my absence inspecting timber camps in the north, reached my notice only today.
I am at a loss to understand your interest in this matter but if you will be good enough to see me will be pleased to hear your explanation as to why you ask for the information.
I presume you have returned to Oxford.
Faithfully,
Sam Hughes.
