Scope and content
Typed transcript of an autograph letter addressed from 15 Clifford's Inn, London E.C. Relates to a notice in a Nottingham newspaper of Samuel Butler's 'Odyssey', which he mistakenly assumed was the work of Dr Gow. The transcriber, R.E.L. Clarke, was given the original autograph letter by his brother-in-law (Mr B. Farrington, of Cape Town University), who asked him to send a copy to A.T. Bartholomew; the autograph letter to A.T. Bartholomew with which Clarke sent the transcript is included here, dated 7 March 1929.
