Content Note
Text of the letter reads:
Nov 16 (19)18
Dear Talbot
Sorry to have
missed you. Herewith
my designs for the
seal for the I.W.G.C
The lamp is
symbolical of the
immortality of the
spirit etc., the
wreath of the victor’s
bays etc., &
the rest speaks
for itself. This seems
to me about the
right size for the
actual seal. If
reduced it should
not be reduced
more than ¼ &
this could be done
mechanically.
Send me a line to New
Court to say that
you have got it.
Yours
Reginald Blomfield
