Note saying how pleased he was to see Crook at the funeral of Sir Harold Bailey. He mentions that he visited Crook's rooms earlier in the month to show him a copy of his recently published 'Routledge course in Georgian' (which he left with the porter) and was sorry not to have the chance to talk to him after the funeral, since he had two other newly published books that he wanted to show him. (A copy of Bailey's obituary is attached: two pages).

He reminds Crook of their meeting in the early 1990s when he spoke about 'man's underestimated capacity for expressing apparently contradictory beliefs'. In receipt of a two-year grant to prepare a study of the Campanian wax-tablet, he asks Crook of his reaction to such a project and if he may show him drafts.
