LONDON, March 9.-Lord Redes-
dale, father of Unity Freeman Nit
ford, disclosed today that he has
received "a flood of anonymous let
ters of abuse" In connection with his
daughters friendship for Fuehrer
Hitler.
This abuse was revived, he said,
by the governments recent refusal
to permit Miss Freeman Milford to
live on his island home in a pro-
tected area of the western coast
of Scotland. Miss Freeman-Mit-
ford was in Germany when the war
broke out and came home early this
year an invalid as a result Of a
bullet wound in the neck.
MY only crime, If it be crime"
Lord Redesdale wrote to the Times
today, "is that I was one of many
thousands in this country who
thought our best interests would be
served by a friendly understanding
with Germany. In this, though now
be proved wrong, I was at any rate
In good company"
Lord Redesda1e, complaining
about the abusive letters, wrote the
Times that his only desire now was
for "the earliest possible victory for
the allies"
