Letter of 1 November 1948: 'I am leaving for Beirut in a fortnight to attend the UNESCO conference and am straining to get the next issue of 'Overseas Education' off to the press before I go. I have hopes moreover of printing the paper I have promised you for January; I do not want it to stand over until my return from Beirut a few days before Christmas.' 16 December 1948: 'In view of the facts that we are rather keen on emphasising that mass education is not a specifically Colonial problem and that some of the best illustrative examples are to be found astride British Colonies notably in Mexico I have dropped the words "in the Colonies" from the title'. All six letters signed 'W. E. F. Ward'. Cutting from Times Educational Supplement 22 January 1949 reviewing Ward's talk. 1948-9; Ward's six letters on Colonial Office letterheads. unknown
