Letter from Miss S. T. Prideaux to Emery Walker dated 30th March (no date but the book in which this letter was stored was published in 1900). Found in ‘A Catalogue of Books Bound By S. T. Prideaux Between 1890 and 1900’. From Miss S. T. Prideaux 37 Norfolk Square London W. March 30. Dear Mr Walker, In asking you to accept this catalogue, I want once again to give you my heartiest thanks for all your kind help & interest. There is no one whom it is a greater pleasure to try & satisfy or who gives more encouraging appreciation to one’s small efforts. I hope if there is ever another production from the Prideaux Press that it will be a more interesting one, but I fear for the present health will hinder any further plans. Sincerely yours S. T. Prideaux[i] [Footnote: [i]Sarah Treverbian Prideaux (1853 – 1933) was a bookbinder, teacher, writer and collector of fine bindings. Emery Walker was one of those who commissioned work from her. CAW]
