Dear Mr.Robotham, Thank you for your letter of September 26th. It is always a little difficult to estimate what an experimental instrument will cost unless the design is already settled, and in this particular case we were unfortunate. I thank you for offering to contribute £5 towards this expense, with which I am entirely satisfied. Yours sincerely, W.Martin-Hurst. [Handwritten note] Mrs H..
