Autograph Letter Signed ‘C.B. Fry to Mr Lang
agreeing to “do what you ask. If you will put me in communication with the Editor he will no doubt let me know exactly what he wants and who will read it. It wld be a good thing if he cld let me know how much he requires & if necessary send me a specimen payt to guide me. Athletic notes have to be up to date & consequently are best if sent in as late as possible. I don’t want any pay unless the other contributors take it.. Poor old Teddy - Yes - no. 15 were in the cart rather. My failure was due to folly. Teddy deserved better. He really knew something for he did work & seemed to know his texts. I expect to come up for my degree next term & hope to come to see you...”, 4 sides 8vo., 22 Sydney Street, Cambridge, 7th October no year
