Letter from R.A. Nicholson for C.A. Storey to ask Storey to sign the enclosed form and send it to Luzac & Co. He writes that Minorsky had written to him concerning the presentation list for Minorsky's new publication. His wife is now a semi-invalid but he is keeping alright.

Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey to give him the result of the proposals set before the Trustees. He also asks if Storey would be willing to be Trustee-in-charge of Minorsky's "Safavid Administration" as Nicholson does not expect to return to Cambridge. He sets out what duties it would entail. Nicholson mentions mutual friends and their plans and asks regarding Storey's health.

Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey to ask him to forward the enclosed order form to Luzac after signing it. Nicholson is pleased the stock has been delivered but presumes it is all mixed up and will need arranging before further stock comes from Luzac's. He asks for Storey's suggestions on dealing with this. Nicholson had tried to arrange to return to Cambridge but had been unable to engage rooms so will probably stay in Wales for the summer. He also asks Storey's opinion on Arberry becoming a full trustee as others are no longer in this country (See also GMT/1/3/2).

Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey to thank for the presentation list and the communication regarding Minorsky. He writes he is definitely opposed to the publication of the translation and commentary apart from the text. He also is not pleased about supplying Minorsky with offprints but sees there are special circumstances. He writes of his wife's illness and how that has consigned them to their room and caused a delay in replying to correspondence. She is improving but thinks it will be some time before she returns to normal health. He, too, has a bad leg but otherwise is feeling fit.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from R.A. Nicholson regarding Heffer undertaking the binding. He also writes that he has written to Heffer to send Storey the Minorsky proofs. With this letter is a copy of one from R.A. Nicholson to W.L. Raynes in which he writes that Cox & Allen, though producing good quality work are too costly for a regular binding contract. He suggests that Heffer be approached and at the same time ask that Minorsky's work be sent to Professor Storey.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a letter from Professor Nicholson explaining the situation regarding the manuscript bought by Arberry. He also encloses a cheque for Arberry to be reimbursed. With this letter is a copy of the letter from Nicholson to Raynes, in Storey's hand, in which he asks if the Gibb Memorial Volumes for Turkey had been forwarded to the Foreign Office and whether there had been any notification of their arrival. He also writes concerning the purchase by Dr Arberry of a Persian Manuscript, "Sanglatch" from Heffer. This had come to them via Sir Denison Ross's Library but Arberry had found it to belong to the Trust. Storey believes this an honest mistake from Heffer and asks that Arberry can be reimbursed for the purchase so it can be returned to the Trust.

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.
