Letter, A. Wren to a departmental secretary

Dear Mrs. Aldiss —

Forgive a tedious request. I returned my working notes to the department in June, as required, and I should now like a second copy of them made for my own use before the vacation.

I have been sent a copy already. It is not the difficulty. The difficulty is that the copy I have been sent is not in every respect the copy I returned, and I would like a second one so that I may compare the two and establish where the fault lies — the copying, the collation, or, as is most probable, my own transcription.

I do not wish this raised with the Faculty. It is a clerical matter and I have no desire to be interesting about it.

If it is easier, I will come down and stand at the machine myself. I have done duller things this term.

Yours very sincerely,

— A. Wren
