The British Academy, Burlington Gardens, W.1
May 4th, 1944.

My dear Greg,

Thanks for Sisam’s letter and the copy of Simon’s. If there is time to raise the matter on the 17th, I will do so; if not, I think we can take it up without referring to the Council. It is all the more necessary in view of the movement to meet the needs of destroyed libraries in Europe by the multiplication of photographic copies and micro-films.

At the Council on the 17th we shall have to provide for the memoir of Pollard. I hope you will be willing to undertake it. Any details that might be required with regard to the Museum service could be easily supplied.

Yours sincerely,
F. G. Kenyon.
