I have asked and got the permission of the Director to send you the drawings xxxxxxxx some at a time so that you can work on them as I know that you want these as soon as possible. It is also better like that instead of sending the lot in one big envelope. Dr. Edwards have agreed to this.

I hope to be able to send you some more by the middle of next month.

Best wishes to you and Mrs. Benson,

Sincerely yours,
