British civil servant (1884-1958), controller of public relations at the BBC from 1935 to 1940. Two pages, 4to. Very good, but with minor traces of tape adhering to two edges. Marked 'Private & Personal'. He thanks his correspondent for writing so fully and heartily sympathizes. 'Practically, I am not at all clear what the issue of the delay will be so far as I, and so far as Ryan, are concerned. The B.B.C. job [...] has been announced sooner than was intended & has not lightened my day's work. Ryan is uncertain when he will get away, but may be off at the beginning of August.' He is 'still prepared to do anything I can [...] when your Boards have made up their minds. But I clearly can't make promises on this uncertain basis'. Signed 'Stephen Tallents'.
