Scope and content
Bernard Manning has passed away and C.K.W. Warren sends his condolences from Bristol. He describes bomb raids and his family being evacuated. More condolences for Manning from Michael White, Good, Lawn and many others (Manning was well loved judging by all of the letters). K.S.W. Walker writes about the possibility of obtaining a war degree. Letter from Derek Taunt who refers to his cryptic address. Pars had recommended Taunt to Dr. Snow as a possible radio officer. Letters from R. J. Getty who is at Bletchley-Good, Taunt and Lawn are there as well but have not met. Long letter from Harold Elliott (former student and wrangler). Letter to Abbott regarding Tillyard's election (very interesting). Letter from Raby at the Ministry of Works. Letters from the Master of Downing and his wife-Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond (no date on two of them). Letter from Alan Percival. Occasional letters from friends in N. Devon and Combe Martin (Pars's favorite haunt). Letter of apology from Dick Hettlinger.
