But not easy for usto get more signatures - however I'll see about it. I have not been back to Brightonsince I saw you. I think I can finishe that drawing of the front without goig back. Lutyens looked fine at the RA banquet and I liked very much his air of courtesy and hospitality without pompousness. From where I was unfortunately he was not very audible so. I only mastered his speech next morning but don't tell him this!. I think a school of traditional architecture is much needed in London when I see the full horror of that horrible new side of Berkeley Square. There are lots of good things to pick out in the RA - the total effect is a jumble but I don't see how you can avoid that especially in these days. Stephen I'm glad to say sold his big picture on Private View day. I haven't forgotten the kind promise of yourself and your friend to buy drawings for my 'Casals Fund'." with a postscript that he has "a very elaborate drawing of John Brown's Shipyard Clydebank with the 'Queen Elizabeth' building at the R.A." 2 sides 4to. with original autograph envelope Grayflete Ferry Hinksey Oxford 1st May In early 1939 Stafford Cripps 1869-1952 Politician was expelled from the Labour Party for his advocacy of a Popular Front with the Communist Party the Independent Labour Party the Liberal Party and anti-appeasement Conservatives.
