How personal correspondence informs the gun-policy interpretation

Is there correspondence showing the political reasoning behind British gun selection?

There are personal discussions, but the policy is inferred from them. No explicit minuted statement of it is identified.

Personal correspondence provides part of the basis for connecting British gun choices with concern about the United States. The proposed policy remains an inference from those exchanges, including matters left unstated. An explicit decision recorded in meeting minutes is not offered. Friendly relations did not eliminate the possibility that American industrial capacity could turn technical competition into a race in numbers.
