And I have a copy of the last letter, which states: I realise not only that your board has an important duty to fulfil, but also that it is a powerful and wealthy body, whereas I am simply a private individual doing my best to produce fresh fruit and vegetables in the face of fierce foreign competition. Nevertheless my last hope is, and must he, an appeal to Parliament: much as I deplore having to oppose your board's wishes as also the expenditure incident to a Petition against your Bill which, to me, will mean a good deal. The board in their letter of 3rd November had set out three reasons for the line which they were going to take, and expressed regret that in all the circumstances it is not practicable for the matter to be reconsidered. The board could only have replied to the letter of 9th November by way of acknowledgment.
