Transcript

52, Saddler St.,
Durham
13th August 1955

Dear Sir Walter Greg,

Thank you very much for your kind letter. My collaborator, R. T. Rickert, and I have not so far found any fragments of Henslowe's Diary additional to those you have noted, and we are most grateful for your list, which provides us with a check. If we should make any new discovery, we will certainly communicate with you. I hope in any case that I may let you know of the progress of the edition when it reaches a more advanced stage. We have just heard that the Cambridge University Press has agreed to undertake it—on a much more modest scale than your edition, but we are going to reprint the whole of the Diary, including the pawn and mining accounts.

May I say how much I admire your recent book, The Shakespeare First Folio?

Yours sincerely,
R. A. Foakes
