Letter from J B Skemp to Sir Alexander Maxwell, Under-secretary of State, the Home Office, Whitehall, SW1 Makes reference to the sudden death of Sir John Clapham. 'It is a very serious blow to our Society'. Is concerned about the claims for priority of naturalisation that he has begun to receive from SPSL scholars, especially as he is to leave the SPSL soon. Asks if A V Hill or Sir Frederic Kenyon could act as referee in Sir John's place. 5 April 1946
