Letter from R. L. Morant, Board of Education,
Discusses transfers of 'British' Schools. Conditions of transfer are affected by the terms of the Trust Deed concerning continued use of the school buildings by the trustees outside school hours.
Letter from R. Llew Jones, Rhyl,
Is not prepared to stand for the County, but may stand in the Boroughs. Hopes John Herbert Lewis may stand in the County. £750 should cover the expenses of the next election. Discusses 'the financial difficulty of the Registration'. Mr Thomas Parry and Mr Muspratt have declared their unwillingness to stand in the County and the Boroughs. Mr Elwy Williams would be a most unpopular candidate. 'I should not be at all surprised if the Tories did not contest the County if you decide to stand'. 'Private & Confidential'.

Letter from James L. Muspratt, Rhyl,
Will John Herbert Lewis be at Mold on Tuesday? Would like to meet to discuss matters. Thanks for the treat at Cardiff - '...the great feeling expressed at the thorough Unity of Wales'. Had a long conversation with Sir Isambard Owen.
Letter from M. A. Ralli, Dyserth,
There is no need for a meeting of the Association at present as a general election is unlikely for a year or two. John Herbert Lewis is in a most difficult position. Much regrets John Herbert Lewis's decision not to stand again in the Boroughs. 'After your indefatigable labours, and brilliant achievements, both in and out of Parliament, in the service of the Liberal Party, this will cause a pang to all of us'.

Letter from Edward Anwyl, Aberystwyth,
There is much concern over the efficiency of the proposed National Council. Could John Herbert Lewis and his fellow MPs strive to include guarantees in the constitution of some of the Committees of the proposed Council that would make it more acceptable to the educational world? Has had happy relations with all public educational bodies, but some of the Welsh county councils have little knowledge of higher education. Hopes John Herbert Lewis will consider the matter.
Letter from Edward Anwyl, Aberystwyth,
Is concerned about the constitution of the Council. Discusses the attitude of universities and of public and professional bodies to certificates awarded in the Welsh county schools.

Letter from John Rowland, Cardiff,
Has received no reply concerning the Chancellor's decision on grants for the Welsh colleges. Understood John Herbert Lewis was to see Barstow on Saturday. Recommends John Herbert Lewis to see Llewelyn Davies on Monday. 'It would be most disappointing to the Welsh people if their wishes with respect to increased grants are not complied with in this year's estimates'.
Letter from T. F. Roberts, Aberystwyth,
Suggests Professor Michael Sadler might be a member of the proposed committee of advice on the Welsh university college grants. He would be likely to be sympathetic.
Letter from Owen M. Edwards, Cardiff,
Is sorry for Sir Piers Mostyn. The school should not be recognized unless it is the wish of the Flintshire Education Authority. Hopes to meet John Herbert Lewis at the Commons. 'I am working very steadily now at my new duties - I have only just got rid of the old'.
