Letter relating to The Magic Circle Royal Command Performance at Windsor Castle in 1928

This interesting letter from William Minns to Herbert J. Collings details arrangements for The Magic Circle show that King George V had requested at Windsor Castle on 25 April 1928. As a result of the decisions the Circle made about who should perform in the show, some professional members of The Magic Circle resigned. They believed that the Circle should have included more professionals in the show, rather than amateur magicians, however good the amateurs might be. Lewis Davenport was one of the professionals who resigned.
