A note accompanying the letter is written on the back of a card from Tressilian Nicholas to Herbert Mayow Adams, dated 19 Jul., about a 'proposed visit to Cheltenham to inspect the Newton books'. The note explains that when Bucknall refers to 'the operations which we studied in your College', he means 'the military conference held in Trinity COllege from March 28th to April 1st 1944 , which laid plans for the invasion of France in June 1944.'
