Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey in which he writes that he has heard from Raynes of the amount of devotion Storey has given to the affairs of the Trust especially when the stock was removed from Luton to Cambridge. 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. It was originally for an Indian Festschrift being prepared by A.A. Fyzee, which didn't happen but the article was published in the Transactions of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society but he is unable to obtain offprints at this time. He has seen Arberry when he has been holidaying in the area and expects Arberry will be appointed successor in the Persian Chair at the University of London.
