Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A.

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.
