SIR,—As a friend of Sir Roger Casement (one of the

few in this country still living) I welcome your action in bringing to light 'The Mystery of a Diary,' and I support the state- ment of your correspondent, Mr. Robert Kee, that it is high time that the genuineness or otherwise of the Casement diaries was settled once and for all.'

I am taking it for granted that 'the diary' has not been destrOyed.—Yours faithfully,

WILLIAM A. CADBURY Wesi Hills, Kings Norton; Birmingham, 30
