Correspondence with Thomas Hayton Mawson (1861-1933), landscape architect, relating to discussion of an offer by Mawson to assist in the designing of a new exhibition ground for Manchester, with details of previous experience, and an expression of congratulations on the Manchester Guardian's jubilee. Also included is an offer of an article by Mawson on the need for the founding of a school of landscape architecture at a British University, which is accepted in the form of letter to the editor.
There is a request by Mawson that the Manchester Guardian review his autobiography, and the provision of report by Mawson on town planning schemes and the inclusion of aerodromes, with praise of a letter to the editor by the Air Council on the preservation of sites for aerodromes, which was published in the Manchester Guardian.
