Letter from H. Higgens to W.E.D. Allen in which Higgens says he looks forward to studying the Muratoff drafts and collaborating with Allen on them. He reports that he has finished correcting the translation of Herzen's memoirs for Chatto and is now working on the index. He encloses a copy of Nabokov on Gogol and Ian Grey on Ivan III, which Allen had asked to borrow, as well as the Penguin 'Atlas of Medieval History', which he likes for its information on the Khazans and the Ghuzz.
