[Letter, 1894] Nov. 3, 17 Shaftsbury Road, Hammersmith, W. [to] Mr. Day / C. Fairfax Murray.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/298954601

Murray writes to Mr. Day (most probably F. Holland Day) indicating that he has forwarded Day's letter of Oct. 13th to William Ward of Richmond, in regards to a copy of The Germ (1850). He then tells Day a bit about the history of the publication. -- [Letter] 1894 Oct. 30, 2, Church Terrace, Richmond, Surrey [to] P. Holland Day / Wm. Ward. Ward responds to the letter forwarded by Murray and likely misuses a P for an F for the first initial of Day's name, indicating that he has a copy of The Germ for sale: "The 9 guinea copy is well bound in morocco ..." -- Also a Feb.-Mar. 1969 issue (in part) of: The month at Goodspeed's, a brief article on the early issues of The Germ.
