The Clarendon Press, Oxford
23rd September, 1927.
Dear Mr. McKerrow,
Here is your advance copy, and I hope we have got through with no more than the usual quota of final errors. Please let me know whether you approve of the cloth. It is durable, but it looked a little dull today, when it came up alongside another book in a glossy black buckram. We still have time to make any change you wish.
I hope your bibliographical tendencies have not encouraged a taste for cancels, but if you will let me know within the next few days, I shall do anything we can to put errors right. It is a very attractive book, and I am inclined to think it will have a long and steady sale. In the end we printed 1750 copies.
Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Sisam
R. B. McKerrow Esq.,
Enderley, Little Kingshill, Great Missenden, Bucks.
