Dear Frise,

I am sorry to hear about your air-raid but understand that you escaped unharmed. I hope that you are none the worse for your experience.

Last time I visited you, I saw some containers in the Drawing Office in which, presumably, prints are stored to protect them from fire hazard or enemy action.

I shall be very much obliged if you can tell me who manufactures this equipment.

Yours sincerely,
