Date18 February 1944
DescriptionHas considered the Faraday Society's letter [regarding destruction of treasures by the Germans in the USSR] and feels that the Society cannot take any initiative, as the actions are no different from 'those which the Germans have perpetrated wherever they have invaded' and that 'we could not make a public protest with regard to the injuries done in this matter to one only of our allies'.
