Letter from Patrick [Donner], (22 Prince's Gardens [London]) to WSC, asking if he would approach anyone he knows at Sevenoaks [Kent] on the behalf of Charles Emmott, whom Donner has suggested might stand as the Conservative candidate for Sevenoaks. Donner himself has finally been adopted as Conservative candidate for Basingstoke [Hampshire], although there is a large minority of the local party hostile to him, and it will take him all his time to achieve some unity in the party before the general election. Donner adds that the Liberal candidate will be John Foot, and Donner hopes to make a good impression, as Foot has been promising the moon to the electorate, and Donner doesn't intend to make any promises at all.
