Dear Mr. Joyce

I am still without a letter from Mr. Marshall but I had a letter today from another New York publisher, Mr. Huebsch.[1] I showed it to Mr. Pinker this afternoon and he said he would write to you on the matter at once. Mr. Huebsch has read the complete text of your novel (which was sent on to him by Mr. Byrne Hackett[2] of the Yale University Press) and he writes that he would very much like to publish it and would have it printed without any deletions.

I have written today to tell him that you have already accepted the offer of another New York publisher, but that should these negotiations fall through for any reason he should at once be informed and Mr. Pinker would go into the matter with him. Though his offer is not so good as Mr. Marshall's I imagine his firm has a better standing. He said he had already been in correspondence with you & Mr. Pinker. | With kind regards | Yours sincerely
