| Description | Detailed reply to recent letter explaining why he had not made a joint application with Gavin Greig for Carnegie grant and attitude to publication of collection of folk-songs with or without airs and their dealings with the New Spalding Club; a joint publication would be difficult as time was too short and anything issued now would have to be provisional, the full results of their work being reserved for the New Spalding Club publication; outlines plans for future collaboration on list of tunes for New Spalding Club; compliments Gavin Greig on Buchan Observer articles. |
