83 Macpherson Avenue, Toronto, Canada
2nd November 1918

Mr Stanley Harrod presents his compliments to the Librarian of the Bibliographical Society and begs to request that he may be favoured with one of the society’s bookplates by C. W. Sherborn.

He wishes to explain that in taking this somewhat presumptuous step he is actuated solely by a desire to possess examples of the highest attainment in this field of art, that by their study he may improve his own work. To accomplish this end he must appeal to the courtesy and generosity of the owners of the plates.

He encloses two of his own designs in the hope that they may prove of some slight interest.

23 Suffolk St., Pall Mall - JDF's days in Cambridge 'were some of the happiest of my life'. He regrets that he did not have the opportunity to have had 'a systematic education within the walls of Trinity'. JDF is devoted to the pursuit of the physical sciences: 'in the present state of Science a liberal basis of mathematical knowledge is indispensable to its successful prosecution'. JDF has never had a lesson in mathematics and has taught himself from book one of Euclid to the integral calculus. 'It is one of the current mistakes of the present popularizing system to imagine that difficulties in the pursuit of knowledge are confined to the lower classes'. Could WW point out to him a course of study to assist his work in the theory of heat and the science of meteorology.
