Scope and Content
Letters to school governors and staff June 1932-June 1933, outgoing correspondence March 1932-July 1933.
Gray's letters begin with the copy of a letter from Mrs. Lucy Revel referring to her husband's illness and his desire to resign. The majority of the letters refer to general school business - arrangements for classes, teachers and timetables, and particularly to the arrangements for the award of diplomas in the joint architectural course. There are also a couple of letters from Gray to Fra. Newbery, and a frank description of the design section in 1933 by Anning Bell.
