Typed letter signed to Mr Lloyd Humberstone
saying that her husband and I are both of us over righty [sic] years of age and more or less invalided, and feel that we are not the right people to support an application for a Civil List Pension. We were asked by a very distinguished author who was invalided and whom we knew intimately, to make such a recommendation, which we promptly did; but the author, on enquiry as to the likelihood of getting extra Civil Service Pensions during the war did not use our remmendation [sic] as he gathered the list was closed..., 1 side 8vo., Passfield Corner, Liphook, 2nd July
