| Title | Ld. Winchester to P.L.G. : would have liked a copy of Maguire's statement to the board of his grounds of opposition to Jameson; as he recalls, it was based on Jameson's role in the Raid which ill fitted him to negotiate with the Colonial Office in future years; Jameson has told him (W.) that in fact both Maguire and Hawksley were just as privy to the Raid as was himself and that he remembers its discussion at a meeting of Rhodes, Jameson, Maguire & Hawksley; is astonished, if this is true, at the opposition put up by both Maguire and Hawksley, "at the same time one knows the limit to which either --- are to be trusted". |
