Sir George Tomlins on, K.C.M.G.,

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

LONDON, S.W.I.

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.
