BR TO CASIMIR LEWY, 21 MAR. 1946
BRACERS 135013. ALS. Internet print
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Grosvenor Lodge,1
Babraham Road,
Cambridge.
21st March 1946

C. Lewy, Esq.,
109 Mt. Pleasant,
Liverpool, 3.

Dear Lewy,

I enclose a testimonial which I hope will do. I always find it difficult to ?? them out as?? this as one should, but I trust that brevity will do you no disservice.

If I am here in April it will be very pleasant to see you and Mrs. Lewy, but I may be in Wales where my wife has gone for her health.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell
