My opinion is that under existing circumstances we ought not to carry it on to the House of Lords and I know that Lord Lansdowne agrees with me. If it had not been for the war and the growing scarcity of money, I should have liked very much to go on with it and I daresay we might proved successful, but at present the risk is too great. My present chauffeur is very anxious to join the Irish Motor Transport. Can he do this and what steps must he take? He is a good driver and mechanic and comes from Geashill; his name is Donaldson.
