Dear Mr. Joyce

Many thanks for your letter and for the book and for the money order for £2.6.4 for which I enclose receipt. I enclose a few more press notices, all that have come in up to date. "The Future" is a new journal which I have only just seen. No press cutting was sent to me. I think they will review your book in their April number: I have given them a copy today.[1]

The sales have dropped off this week. If they do not pick up again soon we shall advertise in one or two of the most likely papers. We are at a disadvantage of course, in having no agents or travellers, in fact no business staff at all. So far, the none [folls. del. the] of the libraries[2] have taken the book except "The Times" Book Club. which has had a dozen copies.

I am very sorry to hear that you have had such a dangerous illness of the eyes. I hope they are quite out of danger now and that the attacks will not return. I suppose that ever since you were taken ill in the autumn you have been able to work very little at the book you are writing. | With kind regards | Yours sincerely

Please note the addition of the number 1 to my address.
