Transcript:

PRIME MINISTER

10, Downing Street.

Whitehall, S.W.1

Miss Jessie Kenny has been known to me for some years and I should have no hesitation in recommending her for a responsible secretarial post. She has a great gift of organisation and has had a great deal of experience in this direction. I feel certain that she would display keenness and ability in any work she undertook. During the war she rendered valuable service in helping to organise women for war work.

Signed: F. I. Stevenson

(Secretary To Rt. Hon. David [Lloyd George)]

Sept. 1919.
