Scope and content

Fry says he is very honoured to be working with Gropius and Jack Pritchard on the Manchester flats scheme. Pritchard will start on it when Lawn Road is 80% let. Says RIBA has suggested making Gropius an Honourary Corresponding member for Germany and that he has put Gropius forward for the RIBA Royal Gold Medal. He is worried about this as he is also about to collaborate with him. There has been a revolt in the MARS Group led by Lubetkin's section but this is now over.
