Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.,
March 15, 1928.
R. B. McKerrow, Esq.,
Great Missenden, Bucks.,
Dear Sir:
I am indebted to you for replying so fully to my rather importunate enquiries, and I regret that in the matter of ‘Parisius’ you should have put yourself to trouble; my question was prompted by nothing more than curiosity.
Your suggestion that there may have been some difficulty about remoistening sheets already printed in red recalls to my mind a catastrophe that overtook part of a job of two-color printing which I attempted several years ago: some of the paper (a hand-made paper of medium thickness) did not require remoistening and some did, and after the job was done and the sheets were dry I discovered that in some of the sheets the red ink had struck right through; very likely these were the sheets which had been remoistened!
With hearty thanks for your courtesy, I am
Very truly yours
Francis H. Fobes
