Woolmer, J. Howard, 1929-

"I feel guilty that I haven't written to you yet about the manuscripts that you sent to me. I'm all tied up on a long and difficult appraisal..."

"I finally got time to appraise your manuscripts this week-end. These include the Chelsea 35 galleys; the two boxes and a manilla folder of Rational Meaning typescripts; and the box of miscellaneous manuscripts."

"I would like to offer the manuscript collection to the Berg Collection and in the event that they do not take them I would then offer them to Tulsa. Library budgets will be the deciding point, I'm afraid. I'm concerned about your papers being scattered too widely."

"Thank you for your letter of 24th May. I feel greatly honoured by the contents of your letter. I do acquiesce in all you say and will do my best for you and after your death for the estate."

"This is just a short note to let you know that Tulsa has decided to purchase the collection of typescripts, etc., that I offered to them..."

"In regard to Alan Clark's copy of the first revision of Rational Meaning, this cannot be sold to anyone. As I mentioned before libraries are very sensitive to this sort of thing, feeling that they should not spend their money on manuscripts unless they have control."

"I obviously misunderstood your letters of 17th June in thinking that the material you mentioned was a typescript version of the same material that you are giving to Cornell. There would be no objection to your offering this typescript material for sale."

"I'm enclosing my cheque for $3,375.00 covering the manuscripts that we sold..."

"Many thanks for the package of material on the Chelsea bibliography. It is going to prove most interesting and your kindness is very much appreciated."

"In regard to the bibliographic material that you sent to me, this will go into my own collection. I would much rather have it here where it will remind me of you rather than sell it."
