This short memo was written at the Accountant's Office at Stratford-on-Avon although it's not clear if it was actually issued

This short memo was written at the Accountant's Office at Stratford-on-Avon although it's not clear if it was actually issued as there is no recipient and nor is it signed. However, I surmise that a number of these would have been written (one to each station) so this may have been a spare or may have been given to a clerk to copy. The content reads as follow:

'Please clear out the Books and Papers of two years and upwards in readiness to have them collected in a wagon which I will arrange shall call at each Station to collect them. Let me know as soon as they are ready so that I may make arrangements.'

Imagine the treasure trove of paper railwayana that would have been in that wagon when it finally reached Stratford!
