University Library, Cambridge

Dear Sir.

I write to inform you that the Syndics of the University Library have granted you permission to borrow ten books at a time during the present quarter. The application must be renewed every quarter; but this I will see to, and there will be no need for you or for Professor Housman to write again; only until it is renewed (on Oct. 20) it will not be possible for you to borrow more than 5 books after Aug. 31.

Yours truly
A F Scholfield
