My dear Kitson,
Steel has had a very thorough look at all the books in the library that are likely to give any information about Plaistow without finding any references to it at all. We have not got Hassell's book here.
I will make a few personal enquiries from people like Summerson who might know something about it and if I learn anything I will write to you again.
Yours sincerely,
[FIC??]

I spoke to Summerson today & he knows nothing & he holds more in his head than most libraries in their books.
