Dear Sir Walter, On receipt of your letter of 13th inst., I telegraphed you as follows:- "Thousand thanks for thousand pounds. Boyd and MacMahon have got permission leave Spain. If asked Mr. Eden suggest General Franco's allowing them return to Front with Ambulance to succour wounded". I cannot express adequately the relief with which we received the generous grant of your Council of £1,000 from the International Fund. So far, the maximum from any single donor or organisation was £100. A friend had promised to give pound for pound up to £1,000 against the maximum donation received. So far it had been £100, but your Council's splendid generosity enables us to claim £1,000 so that we are in reality indebted to you for £2,000. I enclose formal receipt and would feel obliged by your conveying this good news to your Council at its next meeting. Yours sincerely, D.M. Stevenson Sir Walter Citrine, National Council of Labour, Transport House, Smith Square, London, S.W.1. 292/946/41/97
