Cambridge University Press, Bentley House, 200 Euston Road, London N.W.1. - Writes to inform Trevelyan that the Press has succeeded in having some copies bound of Trevelyan's translation of Lucretius [see 20/79-80]; asks how many he should reserve for Trevelyan.
Cambridge University Press, Bentley House, 200 Euston Road, London N.W.1. - Mr Kingsford sent on the letter from Trevelyan [see 21/80] about the Lucretius translation; the Press is attempting to get some copies bound. The 'prohibitive price' for the small quantity justified by the sales has been the problem, but thinks 'conditions may now be a little easier' and hopes to have copies available before long. The translation of Leopardi is however entirely out of print, with no copies in sheet form.
University Press Cambridge. - Thanks Trevelyan for his letter of 13 October [see 21/80]. The binders are still very busy: even now the Press is finding it 'impossible to get into stock' the 'many publications' they could not get bound during and immediately after the war; particularly those whose sale numbers do not justify binding large numbers of copies [such as Trevelyan's translation of Lucretius, about which he wrote enquiring]. Is sending on Trevelyan's letter to Mr David at Bentley House: knows he 'will do what he can'.
