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.

On this letter Storey has written a copy of his reply in which Storey writes that he had assumed that there would be an increase in cost but is trying to minimise this by copying as much as possible of the manuscript in his own hand to increase the legibility.
