With this letter is a copy of the letter from Nicholson to Raynes, in Storey's hand, in which he asks if the Gibb Memorial Volumes for Turkey had been forwarded to the Foreign Office and whether there had been any notification of their arrival. He also writes concerning the purchase by Dr Arberry of a Persian Manuscript, "Sanglatch" from Heffer.
