Sans titreLetter from C.A. Storey to W.L. Raynes to inform that he has no objection to the request from Princetown University Press for the reproduction of Sir Charles Lyall's translation of a poem. The other translation by Margoliouth is not from their publication and suggests it is Luzac to whom they should apply for permission. He also is in favour of sending Mr Ivanov the volumes he requests. He also writes that Heffer has informed him that some volumes are now stitched and wish to know whether they should be stored at the boathouse or in their own premises. Heffer has still failed to find some pages. Storey has supplied some further parcels which may contain some of the missing sheets.

Raynes to explain the delay in the binding due to the need for experienced women workers who have no special reservation on the 'Pay-as-you-earn' Income Tax schedule from H.M. Stationery Office. They hope to be able to continue the work once they have completed a large government order. They are uncertain as to storage until they have completed the order.
