Dear Feltoe,
I am sorry for the delay over the book but the binders seem to have taken a tremendous time to get their work done.
The Riley in question is the well known translator of Plautus & the authors. He did a good deal of work in several Colleges up here for a last 'blue book' many years ago. 'Plundeing' is, I take it one of the numerous slips in spelling which occur in the matter. However I have been reassured by several people since the volume has appeared.
With very kind regard to les Feltoe.
Yours, J.R. Wardale
