Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey in which he writes that he has heard from Raynes of the amount of devotion Storey has given to the affairs of the Trust especially when the stock was removed from Luton to Cambridge. When the trustees can meet again he is sure they will all wish to thank Storey. He also writes about his poor eyesight and his wife's poor health. He asks if Storey would accept from the Foreign Office, two volumes sent to Nicholson by Dr Qasim Gheni and inform Nicholson something of their contents, so he can write to thank the donor. He also writes about an article he has written, "A Persian forerunner of Dante" and that he is privately publishing 100 copies, one of which will go to Storey. It was originally for an Indian Festschrift being prepared by A.A. Fyzee, which didn't happen but the article was published in the Transactions of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society but he is unable to obtain offprints at this time. He has seen Arberry when he has been holidaying in the area and expects Arberry will be appointed successor in the Persian Chair at the University of London.

Letter from C.A. Storey to Professor Nicholson, Professor Gibb and Dr Arberry concerning Minorsky's proposal to either have copies of his translation published without the text or be allowed to obtain offprints at his own expense. Two copies of this letter, one of which also contains the reply from R.A. Nicholson. He writes that he is not in favour of copies of the translation being published without the manuscript but is happy for Minorsky to have, at his own expense, 50 offprints to distribute to those who would find it difficult or impossible to purchase copies.

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 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).
