| Title | Copy letter from [Alfred Egerton] to Owen W [Willans] Richardson |
| Creator | Egerton; Sir Alfred Charles Glyn (1886-1959); British chemist |
| Recipient | Richardson; Sir Owen Willans (1879-1959); British physicist |
| Date | 25 September 1939 |
| Description | 'Dear Richardson,
Many thanks for your letter. I certainly think the echelon would be far safer in your keeping in Hampshire and I expect your own house is really as safe as anywhere. You don't say what size of safe you suggest or the cost of it; but if you would let me know this I would ask the Treasurer to agree to the purchase of it, or if you would let me know the size I would see if I could find one in London suitable. I am informing the Clerk of the Government Grant Committee of the apparatus which you have taken down to the country.
You wrote some little time ago about an assistant; I imagine that now the request no longer stands.
With my best wishes, Yours sincerely'. |
