The source of this photograph is an original and uncut roll of negatives of photos taken by Major Blount (38 negatives),  accompanying the Blount report - both can be seen in the Ride papers.  If you would like a transcribed copy (8+ pages) of this report please contact me through David Bellis.

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for the clarification. One can only admire the remarkable people who did remarkable things in those extraordinary times. Yes please, I’d very much like to read the transcribed pages if David can arrange it.

Yours sincerely, Andrew Suddaby
