Dear Mr Wallace2,

I wonder whether you would care to answer, or enable me to answer, the enclosed letter (which please return). The writer ought to be able to get some of the answers he wants without difficulty, but I can well believe that he has not access to all of them!

With kind regards, | Yours very truly, | O. J. R Howath3 [signature]
