My dear Georgie,
Thank you very much for your letter of 17th June, which I sent to His Excellency. His Excellency has returned the letter, saying that he has read it with great interest.
I am grateful to know that steps have been taken to lay the University's petition before the King, and I hope that we shall soon hear that His Majesty has agreed to become our Patron.
I am, with all good wishes.
Yours ever,
W.W. Howell.
