Dear Mr.Robotham, Thank you for your letter of June 5th. I have had a talk with Captain W.B. MacGeorge, one of the Governors of the Weybridge Hospital and have shown him your letter. If the Administration decide to present an engine to the Hospital, Captain MacGeorge would like to write a letter of thanks and appreciation on behalf of the Governing Body. I myself am not directly connected with the Hospital but was asked to make suggestions for providing an emergency lighting equipment in the cheapest possible way. I have told the Governors that if the scheme which I put up to them is acceptable I will be responsible for seeing that everything works. It occurs to me, however, that when the Administration makes their decision they might prefer to write to the Hospital Authorities rather than to me. The correct address is as follows:- Captain W.B. MacGeorge, Weybridge Hospital. Weybridge, Surrey. | ||
