Description: | Typewritten letter on Wright's Biscuits headed notepaper, with 'V.E. Day 1945' handwritten at the top. The letter reads, 'Dear Friend, to celebrate the successful conclusion of the War in Europe and the Victory of our Gallant Troops, the Directors have pleasure in enclosing £1 herewith. They hope that happier times will henceforth prevail'. The letter was received by Miss Gwen Gordon, a supervisor at the factory, and is signed by W.P. Webster, Director. The internal reference 'WPW/MO' stands for William P. Webster and Miss Mary Orr (Mary joined Wright's from school in 1933 and was eventually appointed a Director of the company).
