Copy letter from an unknown correspondent, to Messrs Dulau & Company 'Adverting to your memo. [memorandum] of last October, including report of certain serials which had been inquired for by our Catalogue Committee, I regret that the report arrived after the Committe had sat and that I have not been able to obtain permission to purchase any of the sets you quote. I therefore return herewith the three specimen numbers with which you supplied us, keeping by me for reference'. 18 December 1895
