Peter Jackson: Dear Nigel, I'm glad that you and the others have said what they did. I didn't meet Eldred until some time after I'd started work in chambers, as for many months he was engaged in the Alison Halford (?) sex discrimination case in Manchester. I do remember Sean J. (who was a pupil at that time) saying that on one occasion when they were both in Manchester Eldred put his head round the door of Sean's hotel room at midnight and suggested a 3 a.m. meeting to discuss the case. And he wasn't joking. This certainly gives some idea of the demands he made on his pupils - but also of the formidable powers of work he himself had when in his prime. I'm sure he would have been the first to acknowledge what he owed to Jenny - a completely remarkable person in her own right who devoted her life to him and protected him fiercely. Clemmie to his Winston, if that's not too fanciful. It's a sad day, the real breaking of a link. Best wishes, Peter
