Summary
Pointing out that Gunn missed a mistake, like himself, in "Tamer and hawk" where the second word was printed as "though" instead of "thought"; describing that to help speed things up with the binders, he only printed 200 so far and did not start the second batch yet, so he can correct it; adding that he is enclosing a batch of subscription forms for Gunn to distribute among "the boys" with the price as 8/6d and to refer customers to Mellor since the profit margin is slim; explaining that the best way to make up for the binders not completing the work until term is finished is for the subscribers to be sent the book immediately when it is published instead of waiting for it to appear in the shops; asking if Gunn knows Martyn Skinner, who put a large job Mellor's way and what Gunn thinks of him.
