Letter from University Press, Cambridge, to C.A. Storey to express their willingness to provide an estimate for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt and asks for a complete manuscript in order to provide the estimate. They are setting a specimen which will be in Monotype cast.

Letter from Brooke Crutchley, University Printer, to C.A. Storey to inform of their experiments in setting up Arabic mechanically in Monotype cast for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt and to provide an estimate of the costs for printing.

Letter from University Press, Cambridge, to C.A. Storey to thank for his letter stating their tender for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt had been accepted. They ask for Storey to inform of the number of proofs required and suggest leaving the question of paper to see if the current controls will be relaxed. On this letter Storey has written a copy of his reply in which he suggests that he will need four to five sets of proofs some of which he will airmail to the editors in India. He thinks they will require only 500-600 copies but will consult with his colleagues to confirm this.

Letter from University Press, Cambridge, to C.A. Storey to inform that due to the agreement to increase wages and reduce hours of work in the printing industry the Press must increase its charges for composition, presswork and binding. He is unsure how this will affect Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt but will inform when this is known. On this letter Storey has written a copy of his reply in which Storey writes that he had assumed that there would be an increase in cost but is trying to minimise this by copying as much as possible of the manuscript in his own hand to increase the legibility.

Two cards from University Press, Cambridge, to C.A. Storey to acknowledge receipt of folios.

Letter from E.G. Raynes, Clerk to the Trust, to C.A. Storey to inform him that instructions have been given to send presentation copies of Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt to Drs Ritter and Bernhard Lewin as well as to the University Library, Uppsala.

He also writes that the liquidators of the Central Uruguay Railway Company are liquidating their ordinary stock As a nominee, Raynes requires Storey's signature for the discharge (see GMT/2/2/49). He states that the questions of transferring stock into other names will be considered at the next Annual Meeting.

Letter from R.A. Nicholson to C.A. Storey to consider the question of reprinting Chahar Magala. As there is still a steady demand, the other trustees think the student edition should be reprinted. He asks if Storey approves of this proposal.
