John
Thank you for the update
Can I just add a note of caution about this from my own experiences of
trying to track down papers of individuals in the past.
I note the comment about the papers being split across different record
offices. I would hope at least that some effort is made to try and
retain a single catalogue list of where material has gone.

Dear all,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I am assured that most of David's notes are still in storage,
awaiting his executors handing over to a long term WMS member for
sorting, & subsequent deposit in various Records Offices.
Before he died, I had several conversations with David, as to
what to do with his records, & my recommendation, which I THINK was
taken on board, was that as much as possible should be lodged in
relevant Public
Records Offices. A recent update has informed me that this has not
yet
happened. Please be patient!!
