Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana - Printed card completed in manuscript, giving permission and informing him that he has forwarded the materials to the photographer.

Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana - Will permit black-and-white photographs to be made of the Ovid 'Fasti', suggests using a photographer, shares how many pages are in each item (Vatic.Reg.lat.1709 and Vatic.Lat.3262).

British Museum - They have not one but fifteen mss. of the 'Fasti'; the oldest is Harl.2737, late 12th or early 13th century, five others are 13th century, remainder are of the 15th; the price quoted for the Vatican mss. is absurd, is he not sure they meant lire, 'you could buy them for less', Mussolini hasn't control of the Vatican but the Pope and Prefetto would be sympathetic with the needs of scholars. Accompanied by the envelope.

Bodleian Library, Oxford - Are making rotographs of the Codex Mazarinianus; can only account for the Vatican estimate by assuming they meant lire rather than pounds or that they don't want it reproduced; Bodley normally asks that photographs be deposited in a public library, but does not ask it in his case. Accompanied by a card (FRAZ/14/75) acknowledging his application for rotographs.

Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana - Sends a subscription for the bibliography [not signed in manuscript].
