Dear Mr Williamson,

I hope you will pardon an unsolicited enquiry. Paul Pollggk has suggested
that I write to you with the problem. I am writing a short monograph on
the Rev'd A J Galpin (1861 — 1926) who was Headmaster of King's from

1897 — 1910. He was a remarkably successful Headmaster and no one knows
why he should have resigned at the age of 49. Cathedral and School
records can throw no light on this. Paul therefore thinks that tPe%§nly
hope of ascertaining the reason for the resignation will be withfif‘ ily
papers, letter, diaries or the like. There is unlikely to be reference to
the resignation in correspondence or diaries other than those for 1910
since it was not until 1910 that he appears even to have considered
resigning and by the end of that year he was happily installed in the
living of Saltwood.

Please do not go to any trouble, of course, but if you do conveniently
have any information or ideas, I should be most grateful.

With best wishes,

kg vs
