RE: Help with dissertation

Dear Student

Regarding your request for assistance with your dissertation, I can confirm that we do indeed hold material relevant to your area of interest. Unfortunately we are unable to comply with your request to 'Please send me everything you have' on the subject.

You may be new to using archives, so I should explain that we provide the source material, but you need to visit us to do the research yourself. If the term 'research' is new to you, please consult a dictionary. If the term 'dictionary' is new to you, ask your tutor. If your tutor does not know what a dictionary is, finding source material for your dissertation is not your biggest problem right now.

You do not state the number of words you are required to produce for the dissertation, but if I may be permitted to comment, I would suggest that a narrower topic might be more manageable. If, however, you are committed to the original subject that you mention, it would be helpful if you could be a little more specific in your request, as 'The War' is rather a wide topic and we have records pertaining to several of them.

I wish you every success with your project

Respectfully yours,
Cat A Logger
