Author:
Ifan Kyrle Fletcher [The Bibliographical Society, London; Sir Desmond Flower]
Publication details:
Fletcher's letter, 15 March 1947, letterhead of 12 Lansdowne Road, Wimbledon; Flower's reply, 18 March 1947, on Cassell & Co. letterhead; two drafts of first talk, 1947; offprint, London: The Bibliographical Society, 1947; draft of second talk, 1953.
The collection is in very good condition. Fletcher's letter (12mo, 2 pp) contains several autograph corrections, and its presence with Flower's reply suggests that, although signed, it may be a draft. Fletcher was pleased to see Flower at the Bib. Soc. meeting. 'Since then I have been turning over in my mind a project which may interest you.' His paper is 'based on material I have gathered for a bibliography of English splendid occasions', which is 'nearly ready and I hope to issue it, by private subscription, later this year'.
