TELEPHONE CENTRAL 9372-3. _________ CUFF, ROBERTS & CO. 6, Castle Street SOLICITORS Liverpool, 2. W. C. CUFF. COMMISSIONER FOR OATHS. T. B. ROBERTS, LL.B 21st January 1946 ..........ENCL The Secretary, Everton F. C. Co. Ltd., Goodison Park, Walton, Liverpool. 4. Dear Sir, I was precluded from attending the Board meeting on the 15th inst owing to F. A. meetings in London on that date. A similar engagement will prevent me from being present at the next Board meeting (if any) on the 22nd inst. In view of the fact that the Board on November 15th 1945 after extensive discussion over a considerable period circulated their "findings" to the Shareholders, thereby implying that complete finality had been reached and that since that date no reference to the matters in dispute has been made, I naturally concluded that the vendetta against me had ceased: hence my presence at the Board meeting on the 8th inst. I was considerably surprised therefore to note in the Agenda for Tuesday's meeting an item "Mr. W. C. Cuff. re Proxies A. G. M." Inquiries elicited that it was the Chairman's intention to address to me some interrogatories upon this matter. Apparently therefore my conclusions were erroneous and it would appear that some of the members are determined that the hatchet should not be buried. My decision of 3lst August 1945 accordingly holds good. If however the Chairman is prepared to submit his proposed interrogatories in writing they will receive my careful attention. Yours faithfully, W. C. Cuff
