A letter from John Brownlie on recycled paper

BDCA member Brian Newman met John Brownlie on four occasions and corresponded with him mostly by telephone but also by letter.

Brownlie would use any scrap paper for his informal letters as can be seen here; even gas and electric bills were used. His more formal letters to Brian were all on different sized paper, some of which looked very old.

    Can we therefore assume the great man went abroad .. I wonder which countries he visited in 1984?
