Transcript

The Clarendon Press, Oxford
1 November 1927

My dear McKerrow

Madan writes: ‘a really first-rate book: never runs away from difficulties’. I have just come back from America, where I impressed upon various people that the book ought to get into a fair number of American libraries, where they are apt to have departments of bibliography.

Yours sincerely
R W Chapman

R. B. McKerrow Esq.

[Direction on envelope:] R. B. McKerrow Esq. | c/o Sidgwick and Jackson | 44 Museum St | W.C.
