London, S.W.1.

14th May, 1926.

Dear Mr. de Lazlo,

In regard to your son Stephen,^[1] and the examination -át the Institution of Civil Engineers in October, the matter is perfectly simple. He merely has to present himself for the examination and sit for it during the three or four days during which it lasts.^[2] The great point, I need hardly say, is that he should work sufficiently in the meantime to be reasonably certain of passing. It is a rather stiff examination, but Stephen knows exactly what sort of questions are put.

When the time gets a little nearer, I will obtain from the Institution particulars as to the exact dates and hours for the examination, and will let you know precisely what has to be done.

I had the pleasure of meeting you at an exhibition of your pictures in Pall Mall a year or more ago, when Stephen was good enough to introduce me to you and to his mother. If you are down in

this direction at any time, I shall be very glad to renew our acquaintance, but it would be well to ascertain on the telephone if I am in town or not, when you propose to come down.

With kind regards, | Your sincerely,

F. Palmer
