Title	Draft and copy letter addressed only 'Dear Sir' about the suggestion that [Varrier-Jones] should undertake to occasionally visit Sanatoria or other Institutions under consideration for development as training centres or village settlements. Noting that he is reluctant to accept an official position, due to wishing to retain freedom to experiment and concerned that it may limit his plans and activities, preferring instead to be a consultant on the development of similar Colonies and Village Settlements, but warning that he may not always take the official line and suggesting a trial run [relates to letter /27-30]
