    The Times on the preservation of church monuments through photographs; an invitation for Esdaile to become a representative of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings at the Conference (which led to the Council of National Buildings Record); an angry letter from Geoffrey Houghton-Brown about inadequate efforts to safeguard Westminster Abbey; correspondence about Joseph Wilton RA; the rejection of a novel manuscript by publisher John Murray; Arundell Esdaile's retirement from the British Museum; and a letter about the Leverhulme Fellowship (for the Dictionary of British Sculptors). The impact of the bombings destruction and uncertainty around the country is vividly brought out in these letters.
