Scope and content
Typescript letter and envelope signed 'R*b' [MI6-agent 'Robert'] [Laneside, County Down, by hand of Mr. Middleton] to [Brendan Duddy]. Marked 'personal' and at first in mock-clandestine voice; sending a present - reference made to a candlestick Duddy had seen [to let him know the communication is genuine]. Referring to a recent meeting; expressing personal respect and regret about the end of their working relationship. 'Your achievements over the past years have been fantastic'; encouraging him to continue and to take notes for future endeavours: 'One of the problems with Ireland is that everyone goes on making the same mistakes from decade to decade.' (Handwritten captions on letter and envelope establish some of the provenance.)
