621R. Mary
Murray to Harrod, 2 February 1937
[a]
Mary Murray
suspects Harrod has done something wrong, namely, he backed
Lindemann's candidature.
[1]
- 1. Refers to
the Oxford University by-election, where Lindemann ran as an
Independent Conservative against Salter: see letters
578 R (in particular note
1 for more details on the candidates and the results) and
579 R. Harrod later
recollected that he "was extremely anxious ... , on political as
well as on personal grounds, that the Prof. should win. But the
political gulf was still too great for me to do anything positive
to aid him. I did one negative thing, however", by declining to
act as Salter's electoral agent (The Prof., 1959, p. 164).
