    Telephone No 74 Norwich.
    Crown Point, Norwich.
    June 28/29
    Dear Mr Kitson
    By all means come & see the Norwich School Pictures on July 17th.
    To my regret I shall be away in Norway fishing & my wife, I expect, will be in Wales, but the pictures will be here & my butler will show you round.
    You would be well advised if you got in touch with Arthur Batchelor & asked him to meet you here. If he happened to be able to do so, you would be able to see everything of interest that the Collection contains. This I leave to you
    Yours sincerely
    Russell J Colman
    P.S. If you don’t get A.B. send a line to my butler here to say when you would be turning up his name is R. S. Mobbs
