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 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 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.

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 E. Denison Ross to C.A. Storey to inform him that at the trustees meeting held on 23 May, it was resolved that for the publication Hudud ud Alam, edited by Vladimir Minorsky, that apart from verbal corrections no further additions to the proofs be allowed and the work should be printed with an index of only the proper names. Denison Ross writes that on reporting this to Minorsky, he found that Minorsky had already created a more detailed index of his notes and commentary. Denison Ross and Professor Nicholson are soliciting the opinion of the trustees as to whether this increased index should be printed. Denison Ross gives an approximate estimate to the costs.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a letter from Luzac and to enquire whether he should ask Luzac to approach the Ministry of Supply. With this letter is a copy of the letter from Luzac to W.L. and E.G. Raynes regarding the binding of the books and that a concession might be made as the books are required for export which would be a means of obtaining foreign currency.

The Gibb Memorial Trust was established in 1902 in memory of Elias John Wilkinson Gibb, a largely self-taught Arabic, Persian, and, above all, of Ottoman Turkish, died age 45 in 1901 and his mother established the Trust. These papers mainly cover the period 1927-1951 and consists of governance, finance and publication documents, produced mainly as a result of Charles Ambrose Storey's involvement as a Trustee of the Trust.

Postcard from Luzac & Co. to C.A. Storey to state that they have received instructions to send copies of some of the Gibb Fund Volumes to Dr Reser. Luzac wanted to check who had sent the request, Storey or Raynes, but as the request was marked urgent they felt it important to inform Storey they can only partially complete the order as they are still waiting for Volumes from the binder.
