BR TO BBC / JAMES LANGHAM, 15 MAY 1946
BRACERS 57507. TLS(X). BBC Written Archives
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Trinity College,
CAMBRIDGE.
15th May, 1946.

James Langham, Esq.,
The British Broadcasting Corporation,
Broadcasting House,
London, W.1.

Dear Mr. Langham,

I am quite willing to go to the Alexandra Palace on the evening of June 11th,1 but as it will involve my staying the night in London it will, of course, increase my expenses. I presume that the B.B.C. will take charge of this.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell.
