Notes:
Aims to show 'why Letchworth, the first garden city, was established, how it was built and developed, and how, when success was within reach, there was imminent danger of the results of the achievement being lost ...'. Has sections: 'The garden city'; 'The years of struggle, 1903-15'; 'The years of inertia, 1915-55'; 'The years of danger, 1956-60'; 'The achievement, 1961-62'. Much about First Garden City Ltd. Very little about Letchworth as a business / industrial centre
