I think we are spoiled by word processing and Laserjet printers and that the above letter would have been a perfectly acceptable formal communication back in 1938? Typewriters were expected to go on indefinitely with little maintenance and the typist may have been typing as Lord Austin dictated? The spelling of 'apologize' with a Z seems a little incongruous? American influence even then?
