With envelope addressed by Ambler to Pitt at Kennister in Somerset. Also present are copies of two letters to Ambler from Pitt dated 2 January and 20 February 1980.

In his letter Ambler apologises for not acknowledging the receipt of PItt's book 'I was in America in January' and regarding one of his own to be sent in return blames a 'part-time secretary' who 'with her nice Swiss sense of the fitness of things sees a book and thinks of postage'. He ends the letter by telling Pitt that he is taking the book 'on a journey as an antidote to boredom. Needless to say I wish you well with parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy'. A postscript reads: 'A.J.P. Taylor said that the OBE was invented by George V to give to stationmasters who whistled off the Royal train to Balmoral.
