Dear Mr. Joyce,

Yes, it was Mme. Ciolkowska[1] who suggested our trying to communicate with you when you were in Austria through her sister in Switzerland, & I feel sure she would gladly do what she could towards interesting any Paris publishers she knew on your behalf. Her present address is : —

9 Rue de l'Eperon, Paris 6 —

But I am afraid it is a bad time to hope to get a book published in Paris. Most publishers there seem either to be closed or to be undertaking very little ordinary work just now — very little besides war books I mean.

I have been wondering whether The Egoist could do it. Of course this would be nothing like so satisfactory as if the book were brought out by a proper book-publisher in London with his regular machinery for advertisement etc, but it might perhaps be just better than having it published in Paris.

If you like I will speak to Mr. Pinker & see what he thinks about it.[2] If he thought the scheme at all practicable I would then consult the other members of our staff & the directors of our small publishing company (The New Freewoman Ltd.) whose consent would have to be obtained.

We are bringing out a small pamphlet of poems by a French poet who has not been able to get them printed in Paris at this time.[3]

The December Egoist is late again. | With kind regards | Yours sincerely
