Container Summary

1 TLS from Eric Gill to Michael Richey with reference to Prinknash. The post script compares a chisel and a bicycle as tools. *Richey notes: "I had clearly been up to see E.G. (I think for the first time). My problem was that I wanted to become a monk (Trappist) to which there was parental obstruction. I had, from the text, obviously been to Prinknash. The hand written P.S. was obviously dictated to a secretary."
