Two copies of this letter, one of which also contains the reply from R.A. Nicholson. He writes that he is not in favour of copies of the translation being published without the manuscript but is happy for Minorsky to have, at his own expense, 50 offprints to distribute to those who would find it difficult or impossible to purchase copies.
