Town Planning,

1. Grateful if you will approach Abercrombie

as suggested. I attach great importance to obtaining services of Consultant of this standing.

2.

It is suggested that Maxwell Fry, who headed a mission to West African Colonies for similar

investigation, might be suitable for consideration with Stewart as Consultant if Abercrombie does not accept, I would agree to appointment of either,
