BRITISH MUSEUM London: W.C. 30.V.02 My dear Walker I hope you will go ahead with the type job while I am away just as if I were here, and that something definite may be settled before I get back. You have complete freedom to fix on anything as far as I am concerned. Tell SCC[i] that the last 3 sheets of the enclosed proofs only came this morning so have not had much of a licking. If the weather is like this t’other side the outlook is cheerful indeed. Yours ever R. Proctor[ii] [Footnotes: [i] Sir Sydney Cockerell (1867 – 1962), collector and curator of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge from 1908 to 1937. [ii] Robert George Collier Proctor, bibliographer (1868 - 1903). He died in mysterious and unexplained circumstances while travelling in Austria. CAW]
