Total 4pp., 8vo, text readable but sometimes faint,good condition. (Nov. 1947) He's been too ill to write but has marked the books he wants. Any sort of copy not even firsts[.] They are only for work. [This from the most fastidious of collectors (Muir, Minding My Own Business, p.101)]. He'll go through the list again just in case. Those Press cuttings & photos were most useful. (Dec. 1947) He thanks him for another Hobbes, revealing his greatest want, The Vineyard. Fletcher is to stop looking for the life of 1911 since Jennings' publishers have sent a copy. He flatters Fletcher, praising his ability to find books, asking him to look for Chandler's Literature of Roguery and any cheap second hand (or new) of Le Sage's Gil Blas [underlined] in English [underlined]. If he's not too busy. (June 1948) He thanks him for a book (title not clear to me) and asks about two other items in his catalogue (named). If these are difficult, however, I can get them from Colonel Craigie.~220~BOOK COLLECTOR COLLECTING TRADE THEATRE PERFORMING ARTS PERCY MUIR JOHN CARTER AUTOGRAPH JOSEPH CONRAD~ ~0~BT MSS 1~ ~ ~ ~ ~
