Scope and content

Pritchard informs Gropius that a Furniture Working Party group comprising Mr Dalgleish, Mr Welsford, Mr Shube, and Mr Bexon are visiting the United States to see American production methods. Pritchard has suggested they see Gropius as he could influence them for the good in terms of design, whereas [Moholy-Nagy's] school might frighten them. He asks Gropius to try and persuade the party of the value of a national furniture college in Britain. Pritchard asks about Ise and Ati [Gropius].
