First Lord to Secretary 8.II.40

SPECIAL ENTRY CADETSHIPS

It seems very difficult to understand why this candidate should have been so decisively rejected, in view of his high educational qualifications, his Service connections, and his record as set out by his father in his letter of January 4. One has to be particularly careful that class prejudice does not enter into these decisions, and unless some better reasons are given to me I shall have to ask my Naval Secretary to interview the boy on my behalf, before assuming responsibility for writing to his father as proposed.
