"The images shown in your correspondence are, unfortunately, indistinct and it is therefore impossible to identify them. There is only one original letter here in MRCC Holyhead and this is not held in an official file, but a Station scrapboook of press cuttings and other items of interest. (my emphasis - Ed.) A redacted copy of this letter, dated 2 April 2000, is attached at Annex 1."
