Dear Mr Williamson

I am replying to your letter of 14 January: 1977

I regret to say that, owing to shortage of staff, we
are unable to carry out the research necessary to
answer your enquiry. If you are unable to make a
personal visit to examine the relevant sources here —
in which case our enquiry staff would be ready to
advise you — may I suggest that you employ the services
of an independent Research Agent. I enclose a list of
agents who are experienced in this type of work.

Yours sincerely,
j _ jt’\C>\.-\,r\C..LB
