  • Scope and Content
    Dear Mr & Mrs Janes, As promised we called in at the American Express on Tuesday lst. Attached is my attempt at a timetable from the particularswe gathered. In each case except the first a stay-over has to be made in Dollar areas for which it is doubtful if we could get money. Flying does not appeal to us, particularly up in the frozen wastes of Canada. We will phone you as arranged on Friday evening. With best wishes to you both. Yours sincerely, H F Nutt.
