Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey to ask him to forward the enclosed order form to Luzac after signing it. Nicholson is pleased the stock has been delivered but presumes it is all mixed up and will need arranging before further stock comes from Luzac's. He asks for Storey's suggestions on dealing with this. Nicholson had tried to arrange to return to Cambridge but had been unable to engage rooms so will probably stay in Wales for the summer. He also asks Storey's opinion on Arberry becoming a full trustee as others are no longer in this country (See also GMT/1/3/2).

The Gibb Memorial Trust was established in 1902 in memory of Elias John Wilkinson Gibb, a largely self-taught Arabic, Persian, and, above all, of Ottoman Turkish, died age 45 in 1901 and his mother established the Trust. These papers mainly cover the period 1927-1951 and consists of governance, finance and publication documents, produced mainly as a result of Charles Ambrose Storey's involvement as a Trustee of the Trust.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a letter from Professor Nicholson explaining the situation regarding the manuscript bought by Arberry. He also encloses a cheque for Arberry to be reimbursed. With this letter is a copy of the letter from Nicholson to Raynes, in Storey's hand, in which he asks if the Gibb Memorial Volumes for Turkey had been forwarded to the Foreign Office and whether there had been any notification of their arrival. He also writes concerning the purchase by Dr Arberry of a Persian Manuscript, "Sanglatch" from Heffer. This had come to them via Sir Denison Ross's Library but Arberry had found it to belong to the Trust. Storey believes this an honest mistake from Heffer and asks that Arberry can be reimbursed for the purchase so it can be returned to the Trust.
