Nobody else has entered the\nlists and the most sensible course for the\nMinister would be to keep quiet- He's a polit-\nician and knows when he's on a bad wicket.\n\nAs you have seen from the letter I sent\nyou,Yorkshire has said no,v. politely.\n\nUnless you find this cutting of special\ninterest perhaps you wd return it. I don't\nintend to spend much time writing letters to\nEditors,but I can't see that it does any harm\nnow and then. I thihk you are due for xx such\na letter in B and B: \u201cRoll up,roll up,for the\nbarefist fight between Colin Wilson,the\nCornish xxxxxxx champion ... and,on my right,\nthe Sussex champion,Derek Stanford... Take\nyour places,gentlemen....\"\n\nAmused to see the Wolverhampton wonder\nturning into Ulster's new Carson. Ireland\nhas usually been a graveyard for English\npoliticians. One great exception was Willie\nWhitelaw. But \"Knocker\" will be another cup\nof tea\n\nLove to you both -\nRobert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
