[Page 1] Abbstswand, Stow - on-the-@old 16. Stotw - ott - the-@alz, Glos. November 2nd, 1955. My dear Willy, MOST CONFIDENTIAL. Thank you, very much, for your nice letter of October 26th. The first thing I would like to say to all you nice people is that all that transpires over this matter should be kept most strictly confidential. JI am sure you will emphasize that to your children, Will you now decide whether you ought to talk to your lawyer, or to someone like Mr. Sam Martin, and chat and take advice from them as to the insurance on my daughter's or my son-in-law's life. I think it will be likely to be my son-in-law because he will be more in line for handling the business details. And now, the last point is that I am sure you know I am trying to make this gift as high as possible, ani should we be able to exceed the amount I mentioned to you would you still wish to have the division the same? You will need to give me your married daughter's full name and address. Thanks for all your good wishes to Mrs. Ferguson and me, and I can assure you we both very heartily reciprocate with our good wishes to you.
