RT. HON. W. M. HUGHES, PC
SIR,—I am engaged, at the desire of Dame Mary Hughes and the trustees of the late Rt. Hon. W. M. Hughes, Prime Minister of Australia, 1915-22, in collecting material for his official biography.
I shall be in England until late November, and am anxious to get in touch with anyone knowing of material about Mr. Hughes. In particular, I am anxious for information about his life before he left England in 1884, about his visit to this country in 1906, and about his participation in the Versailles Conference in 1919.
I should be most grateful if anyone who can help me would reply c/o The Commercial Banking Com- pany of Sydney Limited, 27-32 Old Jewry, EC2, or to the National Library Liaison Officer, Australia House, Strand, WC1.—Yours faithfully, L. F. FITZHARD1NOS
