1 This letter is not recorded in Schenker’s diary; nor does the British Library hold any correspondence between Schenker and Fortesque, who was Keeper of Printed Books, Maps, Charts, and Plans at this time. I am grateful to Christopher Scobie and the staff of the British Library Corporate Archive for assistance in identifying Fortesque.
