17.X.02.
Dear Sir,
Owing to the Roll of the Bibliographical Society being quite full we were unable to elect you at this month’s Council-meeting. {1} But I enclose you a card of our papers, as at present arranged, & shall be very glad if, pending your election, you can come to any of them as a guest.
faithfully yrs
Alfred W. Pollard
[Direction on envelope:] R. B. McKerrow Esqre. | 22 Friars Stile Rd. | Richmond.

Letter-head of the Bibliographical Society. There is no stamp or other mark of posting on the envelope.
{1} The following statement appeared in the Bibliographical Society’s annual report, circulated in advance of the annual meeting on 15 December: ‘Early in the year the number of Candidate-Members on the Roll had already reached the permitted maximum (15), and since March the Council has only been able to make two elections. Five gentlemen actively engaged in bibliographical work are now waiting election as Candidate-Members, and it would be an advantage to the Society to secure their help.’ (Transactions, vii. 4.) McKerrow was presumably one of the five gentlemen alluded to.
