O.B.S.

Dear Dr. McKerrow,

Every member of the O.B.S. has the right to purchase one extra copy of each part of Proceedings. I could treat the application of the Chicago Medical Book Company, therefore, as coming from you and supply the American M.D. with a copy of Pt. 3 {2}. But of course, you might wish to purchase a second copy yourself. What shall we do?

Yours sincerely
S. Gibson

P.S. I should like to add that I heartily congratulate you as the author of An Introduction to Bibliography. We are all deeply indebted to you.

[Direction on envelope:] Dr. R. B. McKerrow | Enderley | Gt. Missenden | (Bucks)
