Mr. Radford

I am sorry that we have not been able to get this forward to Mr. Dale while you have been away. It has taken a very long time to trace the whereabouts of Jack's Digest for which Mr. Dale asks. It is now found to be registered on file 72867/30 which has been sent for.

Miss Self has I think collected all the other relevant papers namely:-
