I can only surmise that your own personal influence has been too strong.</p> <p>It was clear that the Commission was content with the names it had to consider and it was equally clear that the first name came through very strongly. The ratio of votes at the end led none of us to believe that there was any question concerning the capabilities of both men doing a good job.</p> <p>Furthermore, there is always an element of risk and faith attached to any selection of names. No one can be absolutely sure that a Commission will not make the occasional mistake but the Prime Minister (who is not present at the Commission) must rely on the judgement that comes from its Chairman who offers to the Prime Minister his view concerning the two names given.</p> <p>In short, I regret what has happened but accept that the Commission will have to meet again to begin its worth afresh. I must ask – through you – to have a private meeting with the Prime Minister when we meet, to discuss this. I don’t expect anyone else to be with us when we do so.</p> <div style="text-align:center;">Yours sincerely,</div> <div style="text-align:center;">(Sgd.) <em>+ George Cantuar</em></div> <div style="text-align:center;">ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY</div> <p> </p> <p>Mr J H Holroyd CB<br />Secretary for Appointments<br />to the Prime Minister<br />10 Downing Street<br />LONDON<br />SW1A 2AA</p> Signatures The person who signed the document even if there isn't a wet-ink signature.
