One of the hundreds of letters between David Gilson, a librarian at one of the Bodleian Libraries and author of the expansive 1982 Bibliography of Jane Austen, and Alberta Burke. Gilson’s bibliography was so extensive due in large part to the correspondence he maintained with Austen book collector’s worldwide. In this letter, Gilson thanks Burke for offering some of her duplicate translation copies to him. Gilson and Burke maintained a rigorous correspondence until Burke’s death in 1975.
