Letter to Adams, Walter, 28 Apr. 1936

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.7653/1/A/18

Scope and Contents

For Adams’s information Rutherford encloses a letter to him about the “Samuel” meetings on the refugee problem where he has been asked to preside at a meeting on Thursday May 21 when Herbert Samuel will speak about German refugees and a copy letter he has sent to [] Eppstein. Rutherford feels it important for the AAC to try to help Samuel because of ‘financial possibilities’, he might be placed in a very awkward position if the meeting became ‘an attack on the Nazi system’. Asks for Adams’s views – he saw [] Slade last Friday who said he had handed Adams a cheque for £2,500.
