These copies are with the letter. The letter from W. Ivanow thanks for vol. XVI of the New Series but he has not received vols. VII and VII of the Mathnawi of Jalalu'd-din Rumi which he asks to be sent, dated 14, July 1943. The letter from Princetown University Press asks to include two poems for which the Trust holds the copyright in the publication from the symposium entitled The Arab Heritage, dated 14 September 1943.

Letter from C.A. Storey to W.L. Raynes to inform that he has no objection to the request from Princetown University Press for the reproduction of Sir Charles Lyall's translation of a poem. The other translation by Margoliouth is not from their publication and suggests it is Luzac to whom they should apply for permission. He also is in favour of sending Mr Ivanov the volumes he requests. He also writes that Heffer has informed him that some volumes are now stitched and wish to know whether they should be stored at the boathouse or in their own premises. Heffer has still failed to find some pages. Storey has supplied some further parcels which may contain some of the missing sheets.

Publications correspondence covering the time period 1944-1941.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from Heffer. Raynes suggests waiting a fortnight to see if Heffer can achieve the binding. With this letter is the one from W. Heffer and Sons Ltd. to W.L & E.G. Raynes to explain the delay in the binding due to the need for experienced women workers who have no special reservation on the 'Pay-as-you-earn' Income Tax schedule from H.M. Stationery Office. They hope to be able to continue the work once they have completed a large government order. They are uncertain as to storage until they have completed the order.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from Heffer to show their progress. With this letter is the copy from W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. to W.L. & E.G. Raynes in which they explain what they have been able to complete of the binding which they will send to Luzac & Co. They are still not able to give a considered reply on the question of storage.

Letter from E.M. Hanscombe, Raynes' Office, to C.A. Storey to send a letter from the Librarian, Trinity College. As Mr Raynes is on holiday Hanscombe asks if he may instruct Luzac to despatch the required book.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a copy of a letter from Heffer which he has also sent to Nicholson. With this letter is the copy from W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. to W.L. Raynes to inform Raynes that they are unable to continue the work due to staffing problem as they need expert binding women. Further, since the flying-bomb attacks on London, they have been commissioned by the Foreign Office to undertake some highly confidential work which they must produce.

Letter from C.A. Storey to A.J. Arberry to enclose a copy of Heffer's last letter to Raynes on the subject of binding which explains that the difficulty is due to shortage of binders. He also replies that he is fully aware of the condition of the material as he has spent much time with it since its transfer to Cambridge in 1941 and there is no question of deterioration. He suggests that the British Council would probably not be able to help with the situation of binders. He gives a more detailed explanation of the situation of the stock and suggests, in future, they trustees ensure volumes are immediately folded and stitched after printing as they cannot afford to keep stocks of flat sheets. With this letter are some notes in Storey's hand containing information about stock.

Letter from R. Levy to C.A. Storey to discuss the question of Brill being a co-publisher. He suggests Raynes should know when and why the original arrangement was ended but that it might be beneficial to have someone on the continent to distribute their volumes. He also writes that he is writing to Luzac to find out which of the Ellis books remain unsold.

Letter from W.L. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to enclose a letter from Dr. K. Jahn to which he is sure the Trust will be sympathetic. He asks Storey as to how to direct Luzac in complying with Kahn's request. With this letter is a copy, in Storey's hand, of the letter from Jahn in which he writes that he has found a provisional home in Holland and asks for some copies of his books and maybe others of the Gibb Memorial Series having lost his house, family and books in the war.
