THE ',41,000 ALL-BRITISH HOUSE
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—My attention has been drawn to an article written by Mr. Boumphrey, and published in your issue of November 4th, 1932, in which he appears to have doubted the possibility (among -other things) of building the above prize-winning house design as assessed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, R.A.
I consider this article so short-sighted and critical in the destructive sense, that I suggest you may now wish to tell your many readers that Sir Edwin's foresight in his selection and my knowledge have actually created that which your Mr. Boumphrey in his wisdom, suggested was impossible.
I enclose an illustration of the house as built at Tonbridge,
for your use.—Yours faithfully, EDWARD BANKS. 25 Grove Wood Hill, Coulsdon, Surrey.
