Dear Mr. Benson, - Thank you for your letter of June 18th. I am glad the drawings have arrived. I have not put any card-board as the envelope was very heavy but I will in the future. This time I am sending you a few so I will arrange a card-board to hold them in place. These are: P. 1385, 1285, 1386, 1286, 1383, 237, 273, 1365, 269, 1372, 1374, 252, 238, 246, 879, 1319, 233, 1296 231, St. 74, 75, 76; i.e. 22 drawings. I have no more down here now but have asked them to send the rest with the first opportunity. I might have been able to finish the lot by now if the there was no difficulty in transport availability. Here is some information.
