Transcript

228 Woodstock Rd. | Oxford.
25 Jan. 1930

Dear McKerrow

I shd be greatly obliged if you could get this in an early number of R.E.S. {1}

There was a long review of your Introduction in the December number of Beiblatt zur Anglie by one Binz. I am afraid I didn’t read it so I can’t say whether it is worth your while to look it up. The Boche is usually pretty good on Bibliography.

Yours very truly
L. F. Powell

{1} The accompanying item was probably the text of Powell’s article ‘George Steevens and Isaac Reed’s Biographica Dramatica: Further Notes’, published in the April issue of the Review of English Studies, but the same issue also included three book reviews by Powell.
