Rosamund Strode dealt with Britten's resignations and correspondence with sponsorships throughout the 1970's and after Britten's death. These letters may have been gathered together so that Strode could deal with resignation letters and correspondence. Further correpondence for some associations may also be found elsewhere in the BPF collections.
