Thanks Peter, I would say that that is exactly what it is!!!! Thanks very much. But how did you find this? I didn't know that the CSO index books were online and searchable. Except that File 47 appears to be missing from the CSO 1/3 book, according to the link ..... which doesn't mean that the file is lost (and obviously it isn't lost, because someone found it and made a typewritten transcript of it).
