Letter from Admiral of the Lord Fleet 1st Lord Fisher (Grand Hotel National, Lucerne [Switzerland]) to WSC, on senior naval appointments, emphasising the advantage of having Prince Louis of Battenberg [later 1st Lord Milford Haven] as the predominating influence among the Sea Lords, stating that he was the ablest Admiral after Vice-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and it was a "flash of genius" to think of him for the most critical post - "the man for the Ship-building Policy! That's your knotty point". [Typescript copy at CHAR 13/2/98-99].
