Some of the letters have been removed from or are tipped into books in the Rare Book collection. Some letters that have been in the Library since the early years of the College have unknown provenance.

Describes the conditions under which it is being published. "If you want the book still, then please just polish up some one who knows me enough to write and tell me that you are rich, not a puritan, and spendthrifty ... and then I'll ask you to send a cheque to my bank. If all these precautions and warnings offend you, then so be it."

The 1922 letter discusses Shields' purchase of the day before of a stock of approximately 700 sheets of various sizes of 18th century paper, on which he hoped to have printed a small run of 'Morley's "An Apology for Boccaccio"' - presumably part of the text of Morley's translation of the De mulieribus claris. Shields had consulted with A. Edward Newton, and, at his recommendation, with Julius Weyl of the printers Stern Co., but found the price that Weyl quoted too high. He says that he was going to consult "a man ... who has a hand press," hoping 2TLsS, 1922 May 12; 1923 Mar 22 to Mr. Felix that a smaller firm would work cheaper. In the 1923 letter, he discusses a copy of "Evelyn Hope" which he is sending, with notes on how it should be bound.
