Transcript

120 East 75th Street, New York City
November 10—

Dear Dr. McKerrow—

An Introduction to Bibliography reached me safely yesterday and I have already cut most of the leaves and skimmed through half the Chapters—It is a truly wonderful book from my point of view and will be a last court of appeal in all perplexing questions of pure bibliography—I can not thank you enough for writing it in the first place and for sending it to me in the second—

As soon as I got your letter I called up the Oxford Press here and arranged to have them notify me as soon as copies came in. I have heard this morning that they will be available on Monday and I am urging every one of my pupils to buy it. I dont† suppose that will take up more than a dozen or fifteen at once, but there will be others later—

I also take every opportunity to advertise the Review of English Studies which is a great pleasure to me personally—Generally speaking, I like your writings, do some more!

With warmest regards to Mrs. McKerrow and the boys, I am—

Most gratefully yours
Henrietta C. Bartlett
