Private pressman and monk. 2pp., 4to. She is still in time to get a copy of his and Cecil Woolf's "Corvo", he thinks, but will check with Woolf. They have been awaiitng an introduction from Pamela Hansford Johnson. Their press cannot help her with her bit of printing ("our press here is closing this week and the staff --one laybrother and one employee transferring to our'commercial' press at Faversham"). He discusses a portrasit of George Anne Bellamy and the "Memoir of Montague Summers ("going round the publishers"), anticipating criticism and a later limited edition. He has not yet got a printer for the "Review" for which "Faversham" would not be good enough. He discusses a large collection of letters to and from Elizabeth Myers, with manuscripts, notebooks, etc. which will require a lot of work. He will be moving to Aylesford Priory. Finally he comments "Those Linnaeus letters sound fascinating".
