Dear Dr. McKerrow:
Ever since its first publication we have been using your Notes on Bibliographical Evidence in the training of our graduate students. I began it, and other instructors who have continued my work have, like me, found the “Notes” invaluable in our work. I heard rumors last year that you were revising and enlarging the “Notes”, and I am delighted to receive your letter of October 19 announcing that the enlargement is on its eve of publication. I have no doubt at all that we shall find the new book even more interesting and valuable than the old.
I am very grateful to you for sending me a copy, and shall examine it eagerly as soon as it arrives. If I can possibly find time to do so I shall review it for Modern Philology.
At present it is very doubtful whether we shall visit England during the next six months, but we shall certainly return before very long, and I shall hope to see you again.
Sincerely yours,
John M. Manly
