Item 1986/1 - Two letters and a card from Philip Grierson

1 item, paper

Two letters, in typescript, and a card, in manuscript, from Philip Grierson:
(a) letter, dated 9 May 1986, responding to comments of IS on a recent draft and acknowledging that he has adopted nearly all of the suggestions; PG also encloses a draft of a paper that he will present at a forthcoming conference in Baltimore, mentions that he has found another squash player of his standard, and notes that they have seen the proofs of MEC 1 and anticipate publication not before September.
(b) card, dated 7 October 1986, stating that he and Mark [Blackburn] have been working out how to make sure that those who should have a copy of MEC 1 obtain one; he says that formal publication is delayed until November due to TRV's demands about copyright acknowledgements.
(c) letter, dated 21 October 1986, thanking IS for his letter and two offprints, including an Offa one that IS had not previously sent, though most of the letter is turned over to consideration of means by to prevent TRV from "sabotaging MEC"; PG's idea is to make his gift "conditional on the MEC being continued but authorship, etc., being under an independent committee" and he asked IS whether he would be willing to sit on the committee.
