Best.-Nr. 19413Autograph letter on letterhead of 18 Village Road Oxton Birkenhead; five on letterheads of Department of Civic Design School of Architecture University of Liverpool; one on his Abercrombie Square letterhead. 1930 3 1931 2 and 1934 2. Each letter 1p. 4to. The collection in fair condition on aged and worn paper. Two items with the Society's stamp. The first three items from 1930 relate to the appointment of a chairman for a 'meeting in March' by Abercrombie at the Society. On 28 November he suggests the Bishop of Chichester 'who as Dean of Canterbury worked in very close co-operation with me or Lady Milner'. He next 11 December suggests 'Lord Cornwallis of the Kent County Council who is also a member of the East Kent Committee'. He is pleased 16 December when Cornwallis agrees writing: 'He has taken a great interest in the work in Kent from its very beginning and it is of the more importance to have him as he represents the wider outlook of the whole county of Kent.' Two letters from 1931 relate to another talk and the typescript of a paper from it to be printed in the Society's journal. On 16 March Anbercrombie enquires: 'I have been asked by a friend who is coming whether it is usual to wear full evening dress on these occasions. My own idea is that that would be desirable for the lecturer but dinner jacket and black tie would be quite suitable for the audience.' On 1 March 1934 he asks to 'see someone and select slides both from the West Wycombe and the late Sir Frank Baines' collection' anticipating that he will 'get something extremely useful for my lecture'. For information on Anbercrombie see his entry in the Oxford DNB.
