I estimate that undertaking the work you have requested will take around 23 hours. Four hours
work would be conducted free, leaving 19 hours which would attract a fee of £15 an hour, or a
total of £285. This assumes it will take two minutes to check each page, and photocopy and
sanitise any relevant documents. This would be a three day task spread over six half days. As one
file is being retrieved from the Public Record Office and another is to be reviewed by a different
division, we could make the material available to you during October 2002. In advance of
conducting a careful review of the documentation this sum remains an estimate only. The final
cost may be lower, but if, during the course of the review, it appears that the cost may be in excess
of this sum I shall let you know so that you may decide whether you wish the work to continue.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
