Scope and content

Two copies of a letter in which Richard Carr requests "any letters or diaries relating to your husband's impressions....of the arrival of a number of designers - including Arthur Korn, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer - in Britain in the 1930's....or to the opening of Lawn Road Flats". For inclusion in "a biography of Jack Pritchard in which I hope to trace his contribution to the world of design through the development of the Isokon Furniture Co and his work for the Furniture Development Council and the Furniture Industry Association. There will also be separate chapters on Henry Morris and Wells Coates". Richard requests that she give any material to Jack Pritchard, as he and she are both attending Walter Gropius' 85th birthday celebrations
