Dear Frank

I return proofs of the whirlwind1 there are still 3 small errors (pp 8, 11, 13), could you kindly see to these.
As regards W. Abbey I only know what I see in the Radio Times – I have written to McKie about it – Meanwhile I suggest your writing to him about a ticket – I shd think you cd get into the organ loft as I am doing.2
(Mr McKie,
20 Deans Yard
Westminster Abbey
SW1)

Yrs
