234. Your 93, October 15, 11 a.m. Private Council meetings are not at present taking place, but in their stead meetings of the so-called Committee of Five are being held. From your recent instructions concerning the position for me to take here, I assume you would not wish me to take part in these meetings, for they are of course held in private. However, in view of your 93 and to be perfectly clear on this point, I respectfully solicit your wishes.
Gilbert
