Letter from C.A. Storey to Luzac & Co. to send them the Presentation List for the new volume of the Gibb Memorial Service. They should not let anyone see it other than the trustees. He suggests they now receive 150 copies rather than 100 in order to cover the ones needed to be sent to those on the Presentation list.

Letter from C.A. Storey to W.L. Raynes to enclose a rough sketch of the boathouse with the position of the volumes required by Luzac. He informs that two parcels may be still at Cox & Allen.

Letter from W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. to C.A. Storey to enquire whether they could make arrangements to collect sheets at regular intervals until the required volumes have been despatched. They will send a van on Wednesday.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from Heffer to show their progress. With this letter is the copy from W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. to W.L. & E.G. Raynes in which they explain what they have been able to complete of the binding which they will send to Luzac & Co. They are still not able to give a considered reply on the question of storage.

Letter 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.

Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to thank for his letter and to express his relief that Luzac's account had been exaggerated. He also asks whether Storey had seen the report in a Persian magazine that A.A. Semonov had discovered a manuscript of the Khamsa of Amīr Khusran Dihlawī dated 756 in the Library of Tashkent. He will lend Storey his copy if he is interested in seeing the article.

Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that he had been asked by Taqizadeh whether the Gibb Trustees would be willing to present some of their publications to the Persian Embassy. He sends the form to get those printed that are no longer in print, and asks that Storey sign if he is in agreement. Arberry also writes of Nicholson's retirement from the Trust and his hope they may be able to have a meeting of the trustees at some time this year.

Letter from K. Jahn to [C.A. Storey] to ask for some copies of his book for the ambassador at the Hague. He asks that they be sent using Brill as an intermediary.

Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that he will write to Mr Paul of Calcutta to come as a research student of Rumi. He also writes that he has had a letter from H. Ritter who is unsure whether he will be able to complete his Bibliotheca Islamica. Arberry asks for Storey's opinion of this as one of the trustees.

Letter from Brooke Crutchley, University Printer, to C.A. Storey to inform of their experiments in setting up Arabic mechanically in Monotype cast for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt and to provide an estimate of the costs for printing.
