Correspondence concerning the letting of the rooms formerly occupied by the Embroiderers' Guild to Mr J. Harris, an architect. These letters are primarily between the Royal Asiatic Society, Howard de Walden Estates and T.L. Wilson & Company, Solicitors, and concern the change of usage for the rooms to a commercial nature and the drawing up of the underlease. Dated from 2 May 1960 - 7 September 1960.

it is presumed that Mr Ralph Tubbs took over the tenancy of these rooms from Mr J. Harris. It is unknown when he began his tenancy as the correspondence for 1966 suggests that Mr Tubbs was already occupying the premises.
