Switzerland.
Dear Mr. Joyce,
I have your letter of the 11th., acknowledging the receipt of the
verses and the play.
I will apply to Mr. Grant Richards for the accounts due on November
30th., but I expect there will be some delay about getting these, as every
office is now so short-handed.
Huebsch has not yet sent me the signed contract for your novel, nor
have I received the advance of £10:. I have written to remind him of
this, but he has not replied. Directly I do receive the money I will remit to
you. I note that you wish to have a copy of the American edition, and I will
give him the list of names, together with the slips,[1] to whom you wish presentation
copies
sent.
I do not quite understand your reference to "Chamber Music". You
are, I think, mistaken in thinking I have handled this MS. for you. This is
the first time you have mentioned it to me.
