Transcript
201 Chesterton Road, Cambridge
Nov. 27/24.
Dear Sir.
I am ashamed to have no better answer to your courteous letter than that I am overwhelmed with unavoidable work at present, & see no daylight. I have five volumes, the least advanced of them half-written, & the most advanced I am struggling to get into the Press before this term ends. That compels me to avoid all avoidable work until Easter next, at the very earliest, for I have promised two articles before Easter to two other publications. Otherwise I need hardly say that I would have done what I could for a Review which starts under the auspices you indicate. Believe me
Yours regretfully
G. G. Coulton
Dr R. B. McKerrow.
[Added at the head:] I strongly sympathise with the subject you suggest: but perhaps you have not noted that the S.P.C.K. published, about 5 years ago, a little handbook on Med. Latin in that cheap series of Aids to Students, or some such title.
