The memorandum appears to consist of two separate parts: the first being titled 'The Poultry Research Centre of the Agricultural Research Council 1947-1962: A Director's Story (compiled as memory serves, and perhaps as conscience dictates'; and the second a shorter summary of the Poultry Research Centre's involvement with the Agricultural Research Council (which begins with a W.H Auden quote beginning 'Thou shalt not worship Projects...'), together with a list of publications sorted by subject, a list of PRC staff, a short history titled 'The Animal Supply and Research Unit of the British Empire Cancer Campaign' and 'The Directors' Club'.
