Letter from George's Head Master - 1st September 1939

Transcript of letter

THE  GRAMMAR  SCHOOL,
WEST BROMWICH,
September 1st 1939

Dear Sir/Madam,

In the event of an emergency it has been decided to evacuate all pupils attending Higher Education Schools in the Borough of West Bromwich.

I hope that one parent from each family that has (or will have in September) boys or girls at this School, will kindly attend a meeting at the School on MONDAY EVENING at 7.30 p.m.

I am enclosing a circular letter from the Director of Education, and I shall be much obliged if you will fill in and return the Form of Registration attached to it at your earliest convenience, or bring it with you on Monday evening.  It is of the utmost importance that all Forms should be returned by Tuesday morning (first post) at the latest.

Yours faithfully,

P. W. Butler,
HEAD MASTER
