Scope and Contents
Copy of a report from Desmond Morton [Personal Assistant to WSC] to WSC marked "personal and confidential" passing on information about an unnamed person [?Ian Colvin] which he has obtained at WSC's request, as WSC wished to employ him. Morton includes a summary of reports [about ?Colvin] from various government representatives including "C" Major-General Sir Stewart Menzies [Head of the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6] noting that [?Colvin] is believed to have been the cause of the 1939 "Stanhope crisis" and comments that [?Colvin] "has worked in a number of different jobs...[and] never stayed long. He is reported to be unable to get on with colleagues. His chiefs have been so many and varied that they cannot have conspired to keep him out". Typescript annotated by WSC.
