Cyclostyled Typed Letter Signed after his defeat, signed with a facsimile signature but autograph name 'Blanco White'
commisserating with him on his failure in his "courageous attempt to win a seat for Labour ... the seed will not die. You have also made a valuable contribution to that wonderful total of five million and a half voters who have placed the Party in such an unassailable position as the second in the country. We have come through an Election which has tested the Labour party to its very foundations ... you have been subject to a kind of attack, in common with the Party generally, which can produce nothing but the most unfortunate reaction on the minds of people who have wished to do their duty to their country by Democratic and Parliamentary methods ... From the Opposition benches we must rally the country to sanity of mind and enlightened policy ...", 1 side folio, House of Commons headed paper, 4th November
