A note about image and OCR quality

Every reasonable effort has been made to present these document images as flat, straight and accurately cropped as possible. Historical records can be difficult to photograph or scan because of tight bindings, deep gutters, page curvature, folds, creases, fragile paper, uneven edges, shadows, glare, skewed pages, fading, stains, tears, attachments and restrictions on how a document may be handled. These conditions can distort parts of an image and consequently affect the OCR transcription.

Considerable post-production work has been undertaken to crop, align, flatten and enhance the images where practicable, but the results represent our best effort rather than exact facsimiles. Text showing through from the reverse of a page, printed backgrounds, stamps, ruled lines, marks and text visible from neighbouring pages may confuse or spoil OCR output. Handwriting is not reliably recognised and, in most places, may be missing, incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. Always check the page image and, where accuracy matters, consult the original record held by the identified archive.

OCR is not a transcription. It is machine-generated text used to create research tags and help locate names and references within the source images; it should not be read as a verified narrative.

Dear Sir, We thank you for your kind letter of the 19th instant, enclosing separate letters to each Captain of the Tyne-Tees Steam Shipping Company's vessels who took part in the recent evacuation from Dunkirk.

Dear Sir,
We thank you for your kind letter of the 19th instant,
enclosing separate letters to each Captain of the Tyne-Tees
Steam Shipping Company's vessels who took part in the recent
evacuation from Dunkirk.
These letters will be handed over to the Officers
concerned, and we are quite sure the sentiments expressed
therein will be very highly valued by the Officers and Crews.
We would mention that the four ships to whose Masters
you have addressed letters were the only ones taking part in
the evacuation, so that there is no omission. The name of
the BEAL's Captain was Liley, not "Miley", and we have therefore
corrected the spelling of the Captain's name in this instance.
If we may be allowed to say so, all our Officers and
Crews feel very proud that they were able to take part with
their small vessels in the evacuation from Dunkirk.
Yours faithfully,
