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.
