Major-Gen. John W. Carson to W. O. 9th October 1916. Cleveland House, St. James Square, S. W. Dear Sir William, Your favor of the 4th inst. was duly received and noted. The whole question of Taplow was gone into very exhaustively by a board of Officers as far as I am concerned I feel that their findings are not only right but were very much on the side of leniency, and I think that consideration will show you that no injustice has been done to anyone. My kindest regards. Yours faithfully, John W. Carson.
