Letter from Brooke Crutchley, University Printer, to C.A. Storey to inform of their experiments in setting up Arabic mechanically in Monotype cast for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt and to provide an estimate of the costs for printing.

Letter from University Press, Cambridge, to C.A. Storey to thank for his letter stating their tender for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt had been accepted. They ask for Storey to inform of the number of proofs required and suggest leaving the question of paper to see if the current controls will be relaxed. On this letter Storey has written a copy of his reply in which he suggests that he will need four to five sets of proofs some of which he will airmail to the editors in India. He thinks they will require only 500-600 copies but will consult with his colleagues to confirm this.
