Typed Letter Signed to Sir Henry Wood, [Secretary,] Royal Society of Arts.

Historian (1867-1950), who 'organised reception of Belgian Refugees at Folkestone for L.G.B., 1914 (Med. du Roi Albert)' (Who's who). One page, quarto. Good. Folded three times. Docketed and bearing the Society's stamp. Signed 'Basil Williams'. In answer to Wood's telegram Williams replies 'I am to say that I am afraid we cannot sent [sic] people from here to Aldeburgh. | They would have to be sent by the War Refugees Committee, General Buildings, Aldwych, W.C.' He has however taken note of the 'very kind offer', 'and if I find any children suitable to send to you, I will certainly let them know at Aldeburgh. | The trouble is that there are hardly any cases that I know of of children coming without their parents, and I imagine from the terms of your offer, you would not be able to put the parents up.'
