Transcript

Dear Greg:

I have looked over the draft of your article {1} and it seems to me excellent. I shall, of course, be very happy for you to publish it with all the material about me. Someone may come up with a piece of private correspondence which seems to confirm him in his preference for January 5th, but I feel fairly confident that we are right in thinking that the 6th was the day for dramatic celebrations at Court.

With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
[Signed:] G E Bentley
G. E. Bentley
