Typed Letter Signed to G. K. Menzies, [Secretary,] Royal Society of Arts.

English architect (1878-1951) whose firm's commissions include the Ritz Hotel in London, the country houses Luton Hoo, Coombe Court and Polesden Lacey, and the ocean liners Aquitania and Queen Mary. One page, folio. Very good. Docketed and carrying the Society's stamp. He has 'called on Sir Charles Allom with regard to the judgment of the designs which you showed me yesterday', and they agree that 'only two of the selected schemes should be rewarded. We think that the scheme which is coloured brown and blue is not sufficiently good to deserve a reward [...] I would suggest that the design with the circular headed windows is superior to the Adams one [...]'. Signed 'Arthur J Davis'.
