He begins by stating that he 'knew Leonard pretty well in the 2nd Life Guards. he was a good fellow but rough and wild - he came from Mullingar my local capital a good man with a horn but too heavy for a groom'. He could not give Leonard 'a better character than the regiment has done' and if 'his knee is too bad for him to soldier it probably would prevent him being a groom anywhere . he occasionally came before me for punishment - and as a fellow countryman I took an interest in him'. While 'he could no doubt do very well in service' Longford is not sure he would 'like to have him as a chauffeur perhaps he might drive a motor bus or a taxi cab. I have a sneaking liking for him as you may gather and he will probably descend on me here in a day or two'. TWO: 1p. 12mo. He is 'out of London in Ireland' the following day bt asks him to 'let Leonard come to me Sunday or Monday'. On letterheads of 44 Byranston Square, W. [ London ] 11 and 12 May 1911. unknown
