Dear Sir,

11

I enclose three photographs from the one-third full

size working model for the statue of H.M.King George V1,

together with one photograph of the 1" scale sketch model

for the pedestal. I also enclose the preliminary drawing

for the pedestal showing the inscription tablet.

With reference to the inscription tablet, I should be

glad to have the details for the inscription as soon as possible.

I propose to proceed without delay with the work for

the full size model of the statue as there is no time to spare

if the work is to be completed by the specified date.

I also propose to send photographs to the Private

Secretary to the King,

Yours faithfully,

(signed) Gilbert Ledward.
