Extract from a handwritten letter from Desmond FitzGerald to Mabel FitzGerald (Dublin)

London, 10 October 1930

[matter omitted]

Rushed from there to Sankey Committee.1 Not much done there - but seems to be moving in a pretty good direction. It was amusing that we had to explain to the Lord Chancellor and Attorney General of England all about Seals. They had an expert there (Lord Schuster) but he was asleep when called on and couldn't grasp what was being discussed so he came round to us. Jowett asked about the Privy Seal but we told him it was abolished in 1851.

[matter omitted]

1 FitzGerald had been at a lunch party given by George Bernard Shaw and his wife.
