I got Hulbert promoted by your personal insistence when his name was not on the list of any of my colleagues. I keep the paper to publish some day- and Campbell used to come to my house like a tame cat & I got him with great difficulty into the Admiralty - as for Beresford say nothing except but for me he never would have go the Mediterranean - I stood by him in former days when Sir F Richard would have booted him?", two pages, 8vo, Kilverstone Hall, Thetford, 26 February 1910; with original mailing envelope (2)

***Admiral Fisher is regarded as second only to Nelson in British naval history. He had a long running feud with Admiral Lord Beresford.
