Wise. \lang2057 LeMire, An annotated handlist (1991): 'Wise and Forman's son, Maurice, sorted Forman's library after his death in 1917, releasing materials for a major sale in 1920. But the more revealing papers remained with Maurice until his death brought the sale of the more incriminating Forman papers described in this Catalogue.'. Item #158071
