Letter from C.A. Storey to W.L. Raynes to inform that he has no objection to the request from Princetown University Press for the reproduction of Sir Charles Lyall's translation of a poem. The other translation by Margoliouth is not from their publication and suggests it is Luzac to whom they should apply for permission. He also is in favour of sending Mr Ivanov the volumes he requests. He also writes that Heffer has informed him that some volumes are now stitched and wish to know whether they should be stored at the boathouse or in their own premises. Heffer has still failed to find some pages. Storey has supplied some further parcels which may contain some of the missing sheets.

Sans titreLetter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from Heffer. Raynes suggests waiting a fortnight to see if Heffer can achieve the binding. With this letter is the one from W. Heffer and Sons Ltd. to W.L & E.G. Raynes to explain the delay in the binding due to the need for experienced women workers who have no special reservation on the 'Pay-as-you-earn' Income Tax schedule from H.M. Stationery Office. They hope to be able to continue the work once they have completed a large government order. They are uncertain as to storage until they have completed the order.

Heffer & Sons Ltd. to W.L. Raynes to inform Raynes that they are unable to continue the work due to staffing problem as they need expert binding women.

Sans titreLetter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that when he, Gibb and Levy happened to meet the previous week he had reported to them concerning Luzac's complaint at being unable to fulfil orders for Gibb Memorial Volumes worth approximately £1000 and that the lack of binding work could lead to the deterioration of the stock. He asks Storey if he could go to Heffer to see what their condition actually is and whether there is chance of progress. He is also writing to Raynes to ask if he will write to the British Council to expedite the material to Heffer that is necessary.
Sans titreLetter from C.A. Storey to A.J. Arberry to enclose a copy of Heffer's last letter to Raynes on the subject of binding which explains that the difficulty is due to shortage of binders. He also replies that he is fully aware of the condition of the material as he has spent much time with it since its transfer to Cambridge in 1941 and there is no question of deterioration. He suggests that the British Council would probably not be able to help with the situation of binders. He gives a more detailed explanation of the situation of the stock and suggests, in future, they trustees ensure volumes are immediately folded and stitched after printing as they cannot afford to keep stocks of flat sheets. With this letter are some notes in Storey's hand containing information about stock.
