Transcript

The Clarendon Press, Oxford
12th March, 1928.

Dear Mr. McKerrow,

We seem to have only about 400 copies of your Introduction to Bibliography left, and though the demand will now probably slacken until October, I think we ought to be getting the type ready for the reprint.

I shall so arrange that all copies of the first impression are cleared before the slightly modified impression is launched.

The book has made a magnificent start, and I think it is of the kind that will go on steadily. Anyhow I should feel happier if we were in the position to strike off a new impression on demand, because we sometimes get an order from our New York Branch which would eat up most of our remaining copies.

Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Sisam

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