JDH convinces CD not to press for pension for Wallace.
Thanks CD for acting on her suggestion about getting Wallace an income; acknowledges the difficulty. Is not sure Wallace would accept government money for doing nothing in return.
Has discussed with Hooker possibility of Government pension for Wallace. Hooker is pessimistic.
