Correspondence retained with the desk file

To Reader Services. I am asked again whether the first time should be entered against the request rather than against supply. Please keep the first time. It is the entry I made when the volume left my hands. The counterfoil was brought to the desk afterwards, and I wrote down its arrival separately.

Mrs Marsh covered the desk while I was assigned to copying duty on the nineteenth. Her account of that shift ought to go with the comparison memorandum. I have asked that the torn sleeve from table two be charged to repairs, as it was on the twelfth; the two matters have been copied into the same weekly return although they do not concern the same reader.

I will sign a correction if the ledger is shown to be wrong. I cannot sign a change whose only purpose is to make the times agree.

E. Vale · 27 October 1961

Office carbon retained in the correspondence file. Its wording is testimony, not an independent timing record.
