Dear Mr. Van Thal,

Thank you for your letter
of yesterday. I am writing from
London, where I have come up for
the day, to tell you that there
are a number of letters from Miss
Braddon to my grandfather and
these are now in a bound volume,
together with letters from other
people. I don't know whether I
shall be able to find the letters
from Miss Braddon to my Father
and Mother, but I will look when
I get back to Knebworth to-night.
