BR TO ALYS RUSSELL, [APR. 1911]
BRACERS 20889. ALS. McMaster
Proofread by K. Blackwell

Trinity College,
Cambridge.1
Sat.

Dear Alys

Winter can’t find the rugs or the picture, and swears nothing was labelled to go to Trinity, or wanted. The big carpet I extracted from him with some difficulty. Can thee say positively that the rugs and the picture were so labelled, because it would, if so, be a help in dealing with Winter. Also was the picture packed separately or with others?

Thine aff.
B.R.
