Letter from C.A. Storey to W.L. Raynes to state his agreement to the purchase of the stock. He also writes concerning publication stock left at Dow & Lester and wonders whether Cox and Allen will be able to undertake the work declined by Heffer (binding). He writes that the printing of Professor Minorsky's publication has reached an advance stage and presumes Heffer will need the 500 facsimiles of the Persian text to bind with Minorsky's translation and commentary. These were prepared by Mr R.B. Fleming of London who may possibly still have them. He asks Raynes to ask Nicholson where they might be.

He further writes whether Storey could examine some so-called odd parcels at Heffer's warehouse to see what they contain.
