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 A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that when he, Gibb and Levy happened to meet the previous week he had reported to them concerning Luzac's complaint at being unable to fulfil orders for Gibb Memorial Volumes worth approximately £1000 and that the lack of binding work could lead to the deterioration of the stock. He asks Storey if he could go to Heffer to see what their condition actually is and whether there is chance of progress. He is also writing to Raynes to ask if he will write to the British Council to expedite the material to Heffer that is necessary.

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 A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to thank for his letter and to express his relief that Luzac's account had been exaggerated. He also asks whether Storey had seen the report in a Persian magazine that A.A. Semonov had discovered a manuscript of the Khamsa of Amīr Khusran Dihlawī dated 756 in the Library of Tashkent. He will lend Storey his copy if he is interested in seeing the article.

Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that he had been asked by Taqizadeh whether the Gibb Trustees would be willing to present some of their publications to the Persian Embassy. He sends the form to get those printed that are no longer in print, and asks that Storey sign if he is in agreement. Arberry also writes of Nicholson's retirement from the Trust and his hope they may be able to have a meeting of the trustees at some time this year.

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 K. Jahn to [C.A. Storey] in which he writes concerning the delay in receiving the recipient's letter. He thanks for the information concerning his book and writes of further editing he has undertaken. He also writes "Momentary I have lost all, my home, my family and all my books. What will the future bring?".

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.

Letter from K. Jahn to [C.A. Storey] in which he asks that the recipient inform the Clerk of the Trust of his new address and to send him a copy of his book for which he has already asked two times but is yet to receive an answer. He spent a day in Leiden and spoke with the clerk at Brill who informed him that small packages can be sent to Holland.

Letter from K. Jahn to [C.A. Storey] to inform Storey that he will return to Prague and to give his new address.
