Dear Sirs,

In November we received a beautiful copy of the catalogue of the illuminated manuscripts from the library of the Dukes of Arenberg. As we had first ordered it from your firm in New York, we wrote again to that address to thank you, but have had our letter returned to us.

I should therefore like to thank you for so kindly sending us the catalogue. We are delighted to have it for our library and as it arrived without a bill I conclude that you are most generously presenting it. Our library of books on illuminated MSS is probably the finest in the country outside the British Museum, and we are always anxious to keep it as complete as possible.

Yours faithfully,
Rhonda Welsford
