Hardcover. Zustand: Gut bis sehr gut. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Gut bis sehr gut. 2. Auflage. Second Edition, First Printing. A (very) good copy lacking the spine, else complete and clean. No. 41 of 250 copies signed by Forster. Laid in is a three page hand-written letter dated "9 8 37" on Forster's stationery (stamped "Station Comshall. West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking.") to a recipient in Alexandria whose name is not mentioned. The letter precedes the publication of the 1938 edition, refers to it and reads as follows: "Dear Sir I wish to thank you most warmly for all the help which you have given to the forthcoming edition of "Alexandria: a History and a Guide". It is extremely good of you to have taken so much trouble over the work of one who is personally a stranger to you and I appreciate it greatly. I am delights (sic) with the new map (crossed out) plan of the Greco Roman Museum, and I understand from Mrs. Bran(?) that you may be adding to your kindness and giving help as regards some of the other maps. My publisher (Mr. Walker (?) of Whitehead Morris) has contacts (?) here, and no doubt he will be getting into touch and (crossed out) with you and deciding what can be done. I want particularly to thank you for your help over the "Napoleonic" sections. I was even (crossed out) in some doubt as to what I should do over pp. 86-88 of my book. Your own account (which I have beneath (crossed out) here before me in typescript) is at once fuller and more accurate, and for some time I considered the possibility of printing it in full - of course with your permission - and deleting my own. Finally I decided against this, since the book as a whole has to appear over my signature, and I have therefore retained my account, and only used yours for the correction of some of my chief mistakes. I am afraid that, to a trained expert and observer like yourself, the compromise will not seem a satisfactory one, but I hope that you realize how much I appreciate your work, and that (crossed out) it is not through any self-conceit that I am retaining the main outlines of my own. Believe me, with renewed thanks, Yours sincerely E. M. Forster Neither Mrs. Bran(?) nor Judge Brinton was certain of your address, and I am therefore sending this via Whitehead Morris, in the hope that it will find you.". Signatur des Verfassers.
