"The results of the Tattoo this year came up to our most sanguine expectations and it is thought that you will be interested to know that the total attendance was 163,264 as against 150,037 last year. The cars, parked numbered 15,970 as compared with 12,35h in 1925.

The above result is undoubtedly largely due to the help given to us by you and other friends and "we are most grateful. In conclusion, I trust we may rely upon your as sistance again next year, when it is hoped once more to beat all re- cords."
