               <p>Letter from North Circular Laundry to Charles Arthur Munro (1869 - 1952) concerning a collapsed wall. This letter is part of a series of correspondence regarding the collapse of a shared wall between the neighbouring laundry and prison. According to the laundry the collapse of the wall was actually the result of the prison's ivy plant against the wall which proved to heavy for the structure. The author requests that Munro look into previous complaints made in order to find a solution.</p>
