Autograph Letter Signed to Charles REILLY
(1874-1948, Head of the Liverpool School of Architecture) saying that "Encouraged by Mary I am venturing to bother you with this prospectus of my Spanish book. It reproduces (really magnificently) some 180 of my drawings - altogether a terrific work! Two original etchings also. It may amuse you - I hope you may find a moment in London to have a look at the book itself. Mary suggests to me that your friend Mr Peter Jones of Liverpool might be interested to hear of the book so I enclose a second prospectus. We are all here in Norfolk for the health of younger son Gavin - he has had a long fight with tuberculosis but I am glad to say is ever so much better now only has to be careful & this Norfolk air suits him ... he is getting attention at the Sanatorium at Mundesley ..." and ends with the hope that "your own health is much improved", 1 side 4to., Sunnywood, West `runton, Cromer, Norfolk 14th July

Autograph Letter Signed to Charles REILLY
(1874-1948, Head of the Liverpool School of Architecture) thanking him for "sending me the Cripps Petition. Certainly I will sign it and I shall ask Gavin what he thinks about it. But not easy for usto get more signatures - however I'll see about it. I have not been back to Brightonsince I saw you ... I think I can finishe that drawing of the front without goig back ... ... Lutyens looked fine at the RA banquet and I liked very much his air of courtesy and hospitality without pompousness. From where I was, unfortunately, he was not very audible so ... I only mastered his speech next morning (but don't tell him this!). I think a school of traditional architecture is much needed in London when I see the full horror of that horrible new side of Berkeley Square. There are lots of good things to pick out in the RA - the total effect is a jumble but I don't see how you can avoid that, especially in these days. Stephen I'm glad to say sold his big picture on Private View day. I haven't forgotten the kind promise of yourself and your friend to buy drawings for my 'Casals Fund' ..." with a postscript that he has "a very elaborate drawing of John Brown's Shipyard Clydebank with the 'Queen Elizabeth' building at the R.A.", 2 sides 4to., with original autograph envelope, Grayflete, Ferry Hinksey, Oxford, 1st May
