Asks JH to sign certificate for membership in R.S.L. for William Simms.
Agrees to sign certificate for William Simms, but as JH is at present on the Council of the R.S.L., his signature may not be allowed.
Thanks JH for his attention to his request. Has inquired about the etiquette of members of the Council signing certificates: it is done, though not regularly.
