Transcript

9005 Woodridge Road, Pinecrest, Alexandria, Virginia
24 October 1957

Dear Sir Walter,

Some weeks ago I received, with the compliments of the Clarendon Press, a copy of the new facsimile of Q1600 Henry V; and now Q1598 of LLL has also come. As I can only suppose that you are responsible for these kindnesses, please let me thank you most heartily.

My work goes forward fairly steadily—yet slowly, because (in part) of new discoveries as to relationships between the Folio and other Jaggard books. (The Folio, for instance, was begun about when Wilson's Christian Dictionary was being finished—and so pretty certainly not until 1622. Types manifestly damaged in course of work on the Wilson prelims appear in very early quires of F.) I shall not have my job done by the end of this year, but I hope to have the results written up, if not printed, before too many more months have passed.

With thanks and best regards,

Sincerely yours,
Charlton Hinman
