Correspondence relating to the activities of the Oriental Translation Fund.

Two letters from Georg Bühler to T.W. Rhys Davids, both written on the 31st August 1888. The first is a covering letter to Rhys Davids to suggest the name of a possible translator and to remind Rhys Davids about a poem described in the Catalogue that Bühler has been promised. The second letter, in response to a printed letter sets out details of work that might be translated under the patronage of the Royal Asiatic Society.

The collection features a range of material highlighting the activities of the Oriental Translation Fund both from its origins in 1828 and after being revived in 1888 by Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot.
