If that doesn't take the cake, cake is no longer in use." Roberts continues by complimenting Currie for an article in the American Book collector and giving bibliographical information on Arundel. In the original mailing envelope. With a typed postcard signed to Barton Currie, dated January 27, 1947 telling him that books had been sent.
