MEMO. TO Mr. R.A. Spence.
From HCC/VB
I have been examining copies of "THREE GUINEAS" which you sent down with a complaint as to the inking, and it does appear that the paper is extremely spongy; it gave out a good deal of fluff which necessitated constant washing up, and after the wash up, until the ink had become re-established, there were bound to be sheets going through with uneven impressions.
As this paper appears to be standard Aldwych Antique Wove supplied by Spalding & Hodge, I am having it analysed to see whether the impression we have about it, is correct, and I am having it compared with paper used for another job of theirs, sent in by Spalding & Hodge and advised as Aldwych Antique Wove.
When I have received the report I will write you again on the matter.
