Letter from A. Warn, 15th December 1938. Photocopy. First side is 'regulations as to communications' for Parkhurst Prison, so presumably from a prisoner.

Worked at the Abbey for the 1937 coronation. Does lettering in the prison hospital, and reads books and periodicals on the 'approved list', but not fiction of the 'sexy, modern type, so sought after by the jazz and cocktail-sipping youth.' Asks Harold Costley White for any unwanted books (which must be an outright gift, since any such books must end up in the prison library), or money for the purchase of books.
