Notes, topics or text
Arrangements in advance of George Bernard Shaw's death. If Shaw dies in the summer of 1949, can the Bangor office of the BBC send a car to Festiniog to collect BR, so that he may record the obituary he wrote for Shaw. The script would also need to be sent to Bangor, similar to arrangements made for Lord Inverchapel in Glasgow in the case of President Truman.
Matthews goes on to discuss Truman's health.
