Transcript

The Clarendon Press, Oxford
7th May, 1928.

Dear Mr. McKerrow,

We shall easily make the addition sent with your letter of 5th May; and I am arranging, by cutting the block, to show p. 35 in the revised form, which is what the compositors approve.

We shall start at once, but you will have the opportunity of final re-touching when we send you pulls of the pages that are changed.

I propose to print a good big number this time, and so you may have time enough to attain the dissociated view-point needed for a ‘second edition’. But I think I had better take moulds, in case it runs out again with unexpected speed.

Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Sisam

R. B. McKerrow Esq.,
Enderley,
Little Kingshill,
Great Missenden,
Bucks.
