Postcard from Luzac & Co. to C.A. Storey to state that they have received instructions to send copies of some of the Gibb Fund Volumes to Dr Reser. Luzac wanted to check who had sent the request, Storey or Raynes, but as the request was marked urgent they felt it important to inform Storey they can only partially complete the order as they are still waiting for Volumes from the binder.

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 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.

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.
