Scope and Contents
Typescript letter with handwritten signature from Joshua F. Rowley to Mildred Bliss tell her she might be interested in the prospectus which he is sending under separate cover by sea mail for their next Summer Schoool at Attingham. If she has any friends who would like a copy, he will be delighted to send them one. He hopes she enjoyed her visit to England even though he was able to do little to help her see what she wanted. He hopes she will be back in 1954 and let him know if there is anything in particular she wants to see. He says it was kind of Mildred to come all the way back from Gloucesthershire for the luncheon party with the Keelings. He offers best wishes to her and Robert Bliss for Christmas and 1954.
