Letter from G.M. Meredith-Owens to Diana Crawford, RAS Secretary, in which he apologises for the delay in returning the article she sent and the essay by "Vagabond". He does not think the article is of sufficient standard to be published in the Journal. The essay shows more promise but he does not think that it is worthy of the prize. Typed with printed letterhead, 1 side dated 18 November 1964. On the letter Diana Crawford has handwritten a draft of the letter sent to Michael Salt to inform him that he is the winner of the Prize Essay Competition, dated 11 February 1965.
