| Description | 'I am glad that you and your family have been able to get out of London and that all goes well with all of you.
About Cardiff. As far as I know all members of the staff who are expected to form part of the skeleton staff going to Cardiff have heard definitely from the Provost that they are reserved for that purpose. I am going - though there is a private understanding that if I can find something better to do I need not go.
About other "skilled"jobs - Lovatt Evans is Chairman of the Royal Society Physiologists (etc) Committee. I gather from him that no special jobs for people like ourselves are likely to become available in the early stages of a war. I think I should write Lovatt Evans a short note to let him know how you feel, and at what address he can find you.
I am intending to stay here unless something turns up, and if I were you I should stay out of London quietly for a few weeks till we (including the "authorities") get an idea what life is going to be like under war conditions.
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Would you like me to try to arrange for you to come to Cardiff if I see a way of doing so when I get there?
Kindest regards to Mrs Schild
Your sincerely
F R Winston
