Dear Mr. Arno s : - 
Your letter of April 13.th is at hand and tho 
questi ons you ask about tho old botanica! mi s sal are almo st beyond ray 
ability to answer oorrectly. 
I sont you tbe caialogue describing the missal or else T would 
read what the care fui fim of Wesley & Sons said. 
I do not thinlc the missal is high. 7 believe it is so rare a 
work that it has a commercial market value, especially in a place like 
uondon which is a center of the World for almost any rare thing at any 
time. 
I Iiave written to tTesley & Sons asking- the vory questi ons which you 
asked me and thoy will report in about three weeks, yet, of course, tliey 
Y/ill expoot the missal to be retained uni es s it is returned at once. 
Oonsidermg that this is the only v/urk of the kind you have, and 
of course one of vrhich there is no duplicate in the World, it do os seen 
to oie as if it would not be arui s s to retain it. 
fhe idea of huving the work bound in r> voluues, would place it in a 
unioue and original shape. TThether a full vellum binding or .an old 
morocco br.ncting, would be more appr.oprlate, is entirely a natim- of 
the taste of the ovmer. 
vory t^uly yours, 
ylidrr-rd &■
