My dear D[[superscript]] r [[/superscript]] True

We have been a long time delayed in getting the photos made for your paper, owing to other work having accumulated which had to take precedence, but they are done at last, and I forward them to you herewith. 

I fear there may be some further delay in the printing, as publication of our Bulletin has been suspended until the end of the year. Your paper was requisitioned for, and should take an early place as soon as publication work is resumed. As you may suppose, we are none of us very cheerful over the hold-up, but it had to be, and we are making the best of it

Sincerely yours
W.D. Matthew

Photos received. Shall I send them? L.S.

Pencil notes may be "Ansd" (which would make sense as an abbreviation for "answered") or currently transcribed "Ausd" (which looks more like what is written)
