As McEvoy reminds us elsewhere, starting with perhaps Strawson's review of "Philosophical Investigations", Witters was felt to be pretty influential in Oxford. This possibly triggered Grice's attacks.
"Wittgensteinians" in the Oxford area, as McEvoy reminds us, include then -- Not just Anscombe, who edited the "Investigations", but McGuinness, Pears, Hacker, and Baker -- and keep counting...
For Grice's cursory remarks against Wittgenstein vide notably Strand 6 to his Retrospective Epilogue, WoW Way of Words. He objected to other points in Witters's doctrine, notably (in "Reply to Richards") his inability to see implicature.
--- etc.
